Unusual to see a diving dabbler. This Mallard was constantly diving to the bottom to feed. #wildfowl

A day-flying Vestel was nice at my Marston stw. patch. The reeds were being cut which should see waterbirds returning once it's re-flooded. #Teammoth #lincsbirding

At the Witham mouth a pair of Clouded Yellows were mating- one of which was of the helice form. I got halfway back before I started counting Small Whites, got to 480, must have been literally thousands over the site! #butterflies

After our fill of Wryneck, we recorded 75 species at Freiston and Witham mouth. Got really lucky with Honey Buzzard, thanks to quick reporting of the Honey Buzzard, we were at the prison end and picked it up distantly flying west. #Lincsbirding
