No Little Egret seen this morning before work on Dogdyke Road so progressed up to Scrub Hill:
8 Canadian Geese
6 Greylag Geese
1 Canada X Greylag Goose
4 Tree Sparrows
1 Lapwing

Called in at Coningsby Sewage Works (might have been some wagtails about):
10 Greylag Geese in the field (suspect due to proximity of Tattershall Lakes & Park over the River Bain they are from there)
2 Mistle Thrush
Yellowhammer pair
Another Lapwing.

Give it till the end of the month and turtle doves should be back at fiskerton fen near lincoln,had them there consistly last year,maybe 8 out of 10 visits,and up to 4 birds visible,dunno if its worth atrip up from boston though,but you could chuck in a visit to boultham mere as well to make a day of it

Not heard the Turtle Dove since, but like previous posts, Kirkby GP reserve last spring held 3 with good views but I only swa them very early, usually between 0500 and 0630.

Thanks
