The RSPB reserve at Frampton Marsh, Lincolnshire had some rather special visitors this summer. Two pairs of Black-winged Stilts decided to breed on the reserve, raising at least six young. With global warming changing our weather patterns, it seems likely that this wader will become a regular breeding bird, and one that will be most welcomed. They are such elegant birds and very devoted parents.<\/p>\n

Another unusual visitor was a drake American Wigeon, along with the usual flock of Spoonbills and a good selection of waders, made for a good day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
