Last year we saw many waders, the expected Terns, Skuas, and a few Manx Shearwaters, but also unexpected species such as Spoonbill and Osprey. We hope to cover the coast from Boston up to Chapel Point or, depending on the weather, look at the Witham/Welland/Nene Mouth areas.

Huttoft Bank Pit
LWT Reserve of the Month - http://www.lincstrust.org.uk/reserves/nr/reserve.php?mapref=44
If you're planning a trip to the Lincolnshire coast this month, make some time to visit one of LWT coastal nature reserves. Huttoft Bank Pit, with open water and reedbeds, is the largest of the Sea Bank Clay Pits which provided clay for the sea bank repairs after the 1953 floods.
British Waterways Survey - http://www.waterscape.com/waterwaysguide/wildlife/
You'll find all sorts of wildlife on Britain's waterways - from common sights such as mallards and moorhens, to the more shy and retiring residents of the riverbank, like the otter and water vole. You can help waterway ecologists to care for the wildlife you see by reporting your sightings online at the British Waterways Website. All results will be carefully studied as part of the first-ever national waterway wildlife survey.
Records from Grantham Canal, Fosdyke, or Witham needed.
