Lincolnshire Latest Bird News

This page is regularly updated to provide an accessible news service on scarce and rare bird sightings in Lincolnshire. This is a free service. For the most up-to-date information, LBC members are encouraged to check commercial news services. The Sightings page, @Lincsbirding Twitter account, and the BlueSky #LincsBirding feed aim to notify birders about rare (RED) and scarce (BLUE) species that might be of interest within the county.

For detailed updates about Gibraltar Point, please visit their regularly updated blog at http://gibraltarpointbirdobservatory.blogspot.com/, which offers far more information than is included here.

The latest bird news is compiled by Jo Cawtheray (née Whitley), to whom the Bird Club is very grateful.

We strive to share all relevant information, but occasionally, something might be overlooked. If you spot anything missing, please don’t hesitate to reach out! Send missing records or photographs to info@lincsbirdclub.co.uk with the subject line: Lincs Latest Bird News and we will add them to the page!

While this page highlights rarer species, records of common species are equally valuable. Please submit these to the County Recorder via email at recorder_south@lincsbirdclub.co.uk or use the BTO BirdTrack or eBird apps. All submitted records will be added to the Lincolnshire Bird Club database and included in the Annual Reports. Important: None of the reports displayed on this page have been verified or reviewed by the Lincolnshire Bird Club Records Committee.
