After disappearing yesterday, the Woodchat Shrike was showing again at Anderby Creek today. Also present, a Caspian Gull from the viewing screen.

Scratchy bursts from an increasing number of Common Whitethroat have helped to liven up the dunes recently LWT Wild News

No sign of the Woodchat Shrike today at Anderby Creek so presumably it has moved on. Green-winged Teal, Spoonbill, 3 Whimbrel, 10 Yellow Wag (inc 1 Blue-headed) and several White Wagtails seen on Anderby Marsh Lincsbirding BirdGuides

A green-winged theme to the day today as working offsite provided my first green-winged orchids before a green-winged teal was found late afternoon at Gib! Thankfully it stuck for me, #178 for the Gib year list Patchwork Challenge LWT Wild News

Fairly quiet on site at Gib Point today- two year ticks being Reed Warbler and Tree Pipit. Otherwise the most notable was the ‘local’ Whimbrel which now seems to have paired with a Curlew. How strange…

Anderby Marsh was looking good this evening with Green-winged Teal, Wood Sandpiper, singing Grasshopper Warbler and this Spoonbill that definitely didn’t seem to be enjoying the bracing northerly wind.

Gibraltar Point sightings from the last few days. Seven warbler species now well established on the reserve (Cetti’s, Sedge, Reed, Gropper, Chiff, Willow and Blackcap). Hopefully the winds shift back southerly soon! Lincsbirding

STONE CURLEW south over Anderby Marsh this morning per Dick Lorand! Green-winged Teal also still present. Good numbers of warblers also present in the dunes with Whitethroat, Lesser Whitethroat, Reed, Sedge, Gropper, Cetti’s, Willow and Chiffchaff Lincsbirding BirdGuides

Anderby Marsh this morning: drake Green-winged Teal present for its third day (showing very well in front of viewing screen - on coastal path), Wood Sandpiper, 2 LRP, 14 Avocet and a Spoonbill Lincsbirding

Ospreys are cracking birds, this one flying west over the west dunes was just the second I’ve seen here at Gibraltar Point this year. A nice opportunity to practice a bit of digiscoping too!

We had another good day Gibraltar Point NNR on Saturday. 63 species seen.
The local Barn Owl was out first thing. Our first Whimbrel of the year was mostly sleeping near a Curlew for handy comparison. This Avocet had a good preen before nodding off too.

Seb Mayer has become the 1st person to puppeteer a giraffe from Grimsby to Skegness! He finished on Sunday with a little extension to the walk to Gibraltar Point.
