A walk in to Gib along the beach was productive today, found the 2 Shorelark and the single Snow Bunting feeding on the tideline but more surprisingly an unseasonal Little Stint feeding with 6 Dunlin in a muddy creek @lincsbirding.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social

Like Christmas decorations, 22 Corn Buntings have returned to their pre-roost Sycamore in late afternoon sunshine at Gib Point. Always a pleasure to hear their clicking flight calls as they dash over the saltmarsh @lincsbirding.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social

Despite the October fog on the East Coast at Gib the hoped for migrants failed to appear. Day saved by a secretive Jack Snipe from Harvey's Hide @lincsbirding.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social
