A pair of Oystercatchers have successfully reared two young adjacent to the reservoir at Market Rasen Race Course. I am aware that single Oystercatcher fledglings have been recorded at RAF Waddington and North Kelsey Moor this year. They appear to be spreading to inland sites - has anyone else got similar records this year?

Bred this year at Baston and Frithville (both regular sites) and new for this year? at Potterhanworth.

Stuart.
The pr at Waddington fledged 3 young and they survived and are still in the local area.
Lapwings have had a good year with at least 9 pr having at least 2 broods each with a 30-50% survival rate which has shrunk to lower than that once they started moving around. Off the airfield it looks to be quite a decent year as well with adults and young coming visiting.

2 Oystercatcher present at Blankney GC since early March. Recently number has increased to 3. No direct evidence of breeding.

Three pairs at Whisby this year. Two failed but the third successfully fledged two young.

A pair at Woodhall Spa Country Park caravan site. I am told that they were seen with young but don't know if reared successfully. Same in 2011.

John
