Alison's video of the Jack Snipe @gibpoint today. She initially picked it up with thermal, but still took a few minutes to get regular optics on it!
Yellow-browed Warbler, 3 Ring Ouzel, among 73 species seen there, 2 Swallows and terrific thrush and finch movement

The Grey Phalarope at Novartis Ings was initially quite distant, but played nice by working a lot closer to the hide feeding, then came to the bank to preen.

Huttoft Pit LWT NR was pretty dry yesterday. This Kingfisher was probably hoping for easy pickings of any remaining fish coralled around the platform. She didn't stay around long and we didn't see her dive so she was likely disappointed.

We've waited all year for a Whinchat and five turned up together @gibpoint yesterday. Plus one possibly two more individuals around. Also managed to be nearby when a Black Tern was found in the beach tern roost. Yearlist up to 230 now.
Plus photo bombing Stonechat.

App suggested Tree Lichen Beauty & Small Ranunculus for these two but we are not so sure on either.

Alison said she wanted a Lifer from our trip to Shetland, I didn't even consider that it could be a Eyebrowed Thrush!
Day two, of 15. Not sure anything can top this though.

Very happy to find some Spotted Flycatchers on our patch near Caistor. A pair plus at least one other male at the weekend.

We went back with optics after work and he was back on the Marina, still a little distant but much better views.
Must remember to put the work binos back in the car.

Delighted to find this drake Smew near Brigg this morning. Initially on a break between jobs and without optics, distant and flushed along with 11 Goosander by a small boat they flew towards Cadney Reservoir.

The redhead Smew at Idle Valley GP's at the weekend.
We really enjoyed some super views of her.
Just need to work on the phonescoping a bit more though.

A foray into Notts yesterday. Black-throated Diver at S.Muskam. The Slav Grebe was always distant at Kilvington.
Finished with a couple of Lincs year ticks at places we don't visit often, Millennium Green and Job's Lane.
A Buzzard in the last of the sun was quite nice.

We were very happy to find two Shore Larks at Crook Bank, Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe NNR, this morning. Also a single Snow Bunting.

One of two CR Avocets at East Halton Skitter yesterday, both had same colour combo, but we couldn't get a read of the other.
I'm guessing @routledgesteve.bsky.social and/or @jondrakes.bsky.social will have logged the details already?
R-n grebe @ winters pond still too

Stig didn't entirely appreciate the 6+ hour wait for his first American warbler on Friday. The Yellow Warbler eventually gave us some great views though. Also Alison's first, and my second.

Tough going at times for our Solstice birding @gibpoint yesterday. A lone Snow Bunting and a late Chiffchaff probably the best of the 60 species we got.

I've been putting some old notebooks into eBird recently and just got to these two, almost 16 years to the day since we saw them both in Lincolnshire - time flies!

A pretty good afternoon at Donna Nook yesterday, Siberian Stonechat, Yellow-browed Warbler, Lifers and Red-breasted Flycatcher, GB tick. With Whinchat, Wheatear and Common Redstart in the supporting cast.
The YBW nemesis put to bed at last.
