Our new Beached! Lincolnshire project calls for people to visit the coast, find and photograph species washed up in the strandline and share their discoveries. Our marine conservation officer, Lauren, shares more details and tips in her new blog at lincstrust.org.uk/blog/lauren-storer/beached-blog

Todays highlights were a Leach’s Petrel tracked along the coast, a Great Grey Shrike from the Visitor Centre, 4 Yellow-browed Warbler and numerous Brambling and Redwing @lincsbirding.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social GGShrike - Matt Heaver

What a photo - and what a moment for longstanding Trust supporter and regular visitor to Whisby Nature Park, Kevin Ward. Thank you so much for sharing, Kevin.

Huge thanks to Lincoln Conservation Group for helping at our #WilderHumber saltmarsh & sand dune plant nursery on Sunday.

Over the past few days our Wilder Humber team have been carrying out the monthly bird, invertebrate and plant surveys on a saltmarsh restoration site.
