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 Whitley, to whom the Bird Club is very grateful.

Lincolnshire Bird News - January 2021
Lincolnshire Bird Club - COVID-19 (Tier 3) Update
In keeping with the ever-changing government regulations concerning social distancing and unnecessary travel regarding the coronavirus pandemic, we are taking the opportunity to communicate the Lincs Bird Club's position on bird news dissemination. From December 2nd Lincolnshire is now in Teir 3. However, we are still permit outdoors for both recreation and exercise. Therefore, birding should be ok as long as no other rules are broken especially regarding social distancing.
We will continue to maintain our Latest Bird News page (updated each evening) and the Lincs Rare Birds WhatsApp Group - members sharing bird news. The bird club committee believe this helps reduce social isolation by allowing members to keep in touch with the outside world and hopefully it will help some get through what will be a very frustrating time. However, we will continue to closely monitor the situation, and we may change our policy if events suggest that is required. There is of course no compulsion on members to share bird news should they consider local circumstances are such that they prefer not to.=

Lincolnshire Bird Club - COVID-9 Update
Firstly, we hope you are all keeping safe and staying healthy during this 2nd COVID-19 lockdown. In keeping with the ever-changing government regulations concerning social distancing and unnecessary travel regarding the coronavirus pandemic, we are taking the opportunity to communicate the Lincs Bird Club's position on bird news dissemination.
The latest regulations introduced from November 5th permit being outdoors for both recreation and exercise. Therefore, birding should be ok as long as no other rules are broken especially regarding social distancing and no more than two people in a group.
We will continue to maintain our Latest Bird News page (updated each evening) and the Lincs Rare Birds WhatsApp Group - members sharing bird news. The bird club committee believe this helps reduce social isolation by allowing members to keep in touch with the outside world and hopefully it will help some get through what will be a very frustrating time. However, we will continue to closely monitor the situation, and we may change our policy if events suggest that is required. There is of course no compulsion on members to share bird news should they consider local circumstances are such that they prefer not to.
