Lincs Coast


                                    Huttoft Bank

Rimac, Lincs - there must be a Kentish Plover here somewhere.......................


                                   The vastness of the Lincs coast, mile after mile of coastline

                                                    Aaaaah!  Soft spot for the seaside donkeys x

                                     Mablethorpe, Lincs

                                   Mablethorpe, packed out!

Curlew Sandpipers and Dunlin










Curlew Sandpipers and Dunlin. A visit to Rimac on the Lincs coast to hopefully see the Kentish Plover which was nowhere to be seen! Plenty of waders to look through but the Kentish had long gone. Many birders walked many miles today, to no avail. All was not lost as we went to Mablethorpe and Huttoft Pit. Stroked the donkeys on the beach and then had probably, the worst bag of chips ever!

Bits and bobs from today
