The Lincolnshire Bird Club

Three green sandpipers feeding this morning on standing water adjacent to oil drums within the Tetney oil terminal site. Only visible (intermittently) from the roadside.

Also on a different part of the same site, 12 feeding fieldfares along with 20-plus starlings and two pied wagtails

I have today been warned by the operators of the oil terminal that anyone watching birds/ taking photographs through the perimeter fencing is likely to be "challenged".

This is for security reasons because of the sensitivity of the site.

That's understandable, but disappointing - it's just the sort of place that a black redstart or something unusual might turn up.

I was advised to redirect my "bird spotting" to RSPB Tetney Marsh.

Oh well . . .

Better not tell them about Google Earth then.
