The Lincolnshire Bird Club

Sorry for late posting again (!)

2 Whinchats were at the Montagu's harrier watchpoint at Digby Fen on Tuesday (31 July). Thought it is quite an early date, so presumably they've not come too far?

Via the Crown Court,WH Smiths(for birdmag),Mr Eades and Lee at LCE,got to see the harriers,2 adults and 3 juvs in the air with a marsh harrier.
Low scanning picked one whinchat close up .

there were 2 adult Whinchat in Worlaby Carrs on the 22nd; I think with the spring weather wash out a lot of adult birds will have wandered early; juvenile Wheatears around here for 2 weeks now and they have come from at least N Yorks so probably not safe to assume that anything is local by the end of July; I had a colour ringed juv Wheatear one year at N Killingholme which had come down from the N York Moors still with down on it!
