Aye, but if you'd have been sat at Boulmer for the Giant Petrel and SP Petrel you'd have just seen a nice horizon

The highlight of a few days back at Boulmer, 3 Poms N yesterday eve.

Also 20 Sooties across the days, and a YLG and Casp at Bothal Pond on the way back south.

Moulting adult Little Stint

Brutish juv YLG

1s Casp, present on last 3 visits

Nice morning in South Lincs.

Frampton extremely impressive despite very low water levels, with tonnes of waders at high tide. Highlight was the adult Little Stint.

Leadenham Tip on the way home held 2 Casps (juv, 1s) and 8 YLG (inc 3 juvs).

3 Casps at Leadenham Tip today, 2 new juvs distant in the haze, and the same 1s as yesterday.

Less YLG with about 10, and my first GBBG here this summer.

@lincsbirding.bsky.social

Potentially - the LH bird does give me lots of casp vibes tho, other one a pretty standard albeit notched bird

Bottom right? Thats what I think has some Casp in, but think it's the LH bird on the posts - not exactly a classic

2 juv YLGs

2s Casp

3 Caspian Gulls (1s, 2s & 3s) and ~15 YLGs at Leadenham Tip today.

Couple of juv YLGs hanging about together, although think there maybe some Casp genes in one.

@markgolley.bsky.social

1 of the ringed others. Anyone know the origins?

1 of 3 continental 'limosa Black-tailed Godwits @rspbframptonmarsh.bsky.social this aft, the other 2 being ringed immature birds (I think).

It really is a cracker tbf - even has the same glossy look of the birds I see in the W Pal group from Stockholm.

Smart 3cy Caspian Gull flew through Frampton Marsh this aft.

Also Water Pipit, White Wag, 6 Sand Mart, Spoonbill, LRP, Red Kite, Raven, SEO around the reserve.

Decent morning around South Lincs, with the 2 Whitefronts I found previously still about, as well as 2 Crane, 6 Cattle Egret, GWE.

Two rather different 1w Yellow-legged Gulls from Old Moor on Saturday with @boltoningsbirding.bsky.social.

2x 1w Yellow-legged Gulls Old Moor this afternoon. Also 49 Whoopers, Red kite, intermedius LBBG and argentatus HG. With MRL.

Decent morning in S Lincs towards the fens, with 2 Euro Whitefronts at Baston & Langtoft the best.

Also 6 Crane, 6 Cattle Egret.
@lincsbirding.bsky.social

Exactly yeah, my first time trying that

Another 1w on the tip itself this afternoon, looked a different bird.

I drive past on the way to work, and this day there were particularly large amounts of gulls, so I'll keep an eye out.
