Our Garden, North Somercotes

At least 3 broods of L T T reared between Rimac and Churchill Lane all in flight last week of May
The species has increased considerably in this location over recent years.

Some good birds there.  With regards to the 18 Long-tailed Tits, the Mid-Lincs Ringing Group and particularly Martin Sizer have found that large flocks of juvenile LTT's roam along the coast and over the years have caught them regularly.  Martin ringed 21 a couple of weeks ago near Quad 3!  Over the years such flocks have been re-trapped by the Birklands RG at Theddlethorpe and some have even got as far as Gib Point and vice-versa.

Good day in the garden today with 24 species including fly overs. Best birds: Song Thrush, Mistle Thrush, Kestrel, Linnet, Pied Wagtail, Heron, House Martin, Swift, and an incredible 18 Long-Tailed Tits!
