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.
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 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 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 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. 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.

Holbeach area
White-tailed Eagle,
The latest data shows the WTE has moved just over 4 miles south-east back to the area on the Wash near Holbeach St Matthews that it favoured before coming to Frampton.Yesterday it spent an hour at the mouth of the Welland between 11:00 and 12:00 before moving SW. The white arrow was 05:30 this morning. Not sure how accessible that area is, but if there is anyone local who can check it out then please do let them know.

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.=
