Global Big Day 2017

Yesterday was Global Big Day http://ebird.org/ebird/globalbigday and as we did last year we decided to participate but to also see if we could break the Lincolnshire Record for how many bird species we could see in 24 hrs.  We understood the record to be 128 so it would be tough to do that in our local area so we decided to do our local sites here in North Lincolnshire and then to head south to the coastal reserve at RSPB Frampton - to cut a long story short we got 131 species.  Biggest surprise miss was Sparrowhawk, biggest dip was Spoonbill and Bittern, best find was two fantastic female Dotterel.
