The Lincs coast is usually such a hard slog for little reward, so it was refreshing to see it alive with migrants during the recent easterlies

2 Firecrests and a mobile male Ring Ouzel at Donna Nook today. I'm presuming they are pollen horns around the Firecrest's beak - evidence it was foraging in southern climes not long ago. Also Yellow Wagtail over, 2 Wheatears and 2 Willow Warblers #lincsbirding

Chuffed to pick up a calling Richard's Pipit flying over at Saltfleet this afternoon. Seen to then hover and land in an adjacent field. Brief views on the ground from distance...

Red-veined Darter at Saltfleetby-Theddlethorpe Dunes NNR, Lincs yesterday. They are annual on the NNR and may well have colonised the site. Often distant but sometimes they can be quite confiding.
