We've got some wonderful news to share. Earlier in the spring, a pair of Black-winged Stilts visited the reserve. All was to their liking so they stayed, made a nest, laid some eggs, and now we have 4 brand new STILTLINGS!! 😍😍 This is the first breeding record for Lincolnshire.

Yesterday's Black-winged Stilt is still here today. Looking at the photos we can see contrast on the mantle (yellow arrow) which points to it being a female (males have glossy backs) and a white trailing edge to the wing makes this a 2023 bird. Could this be last years fledgling?
