KINGFISHER
Boultham Mere
Bit of a local rarity this year, many hundreds must have perished in the bad winter.

HONEY BUZZARD
Welbeck Raptor Watch point
Stunning views of four birds today, a pale phase and a dark phase flew right over our heads, camera in car at this point, best views of Honeys from this area in twenty years.

MARSH SANDPIPER
Blacktoft Sands
We had a brief view before it flew to the Ousefleet hide, it then took another twenty minutes before it came out but then it showed well for the next hour, though always distant, these shots on full crop, the ones below taken through scope with a coolpix

BLACKTOFT
I was lucky enough to see the bird at Bardney ponds, though people today were ticking anything from Ruff to Spot Reds, it is quite obvious.

BLACK TAILED GODWIT
Icelandic Black Tailed Godwit, for the full sp on Black Tails have a look at Birding Frontiers by Martin Garner, very interesting.
LITTLE EGRET
I twitched my first in Lincolnshire in 1987, now you see them everyday at the coast or on a decent water body.
