Bygone birding: Thick-knee and Temminck's stint in Lincolnshire was created by Jim Wright
From the September, 1884, edition of The Naturalist magazine

Among some birds lately received for preservation by Mr. Barber, of Sincil Street, Lincoln, are two specimens of the Thick-Kneed Bustard or Thick-Knee which had been trapped a short while ago in a rabbit warren near Gainsborough.

Another in the collection is a specimen of Temminck's Stint which was killed near Lincoln after flying against the telegraph wires.

These incidents are perhaps worth recording.
