POTENTIAL BIRDING SITES UP FOR GRABS

The former RAF watchtower at Friskney  - it would surely make a great bird observatory



 TWO superb bird habitats have come on to the market.


The first is the control tower at the former RAF Wainfleet bombing range at Friskney, between Boston and Skegness.


It has expansive views across the saltmarsh and over  The Wash estuary across to Hunstanton in North Norfolk.

Where better to watch short-eared owls, marsh harriers, waders, wildfowl and passerines on the move?


The guide price is £300,000 - £350,000 when it goes under the hammer as lot 36 at an auction to be held by Bagshaw Residential  at Derby on Wednesday November 26:



For additional info, see also the report (including video footage) carried by the BBC on its  regional news programme, Look North, at:

The second location is an area of 4.7 acres which contains no fewer than eight ponds, some surrounded by reedbed.

It doesn't take much imagination to guess what sort of species it might host.

Offers in the region of £25,000 are being sought by  agents Fisher German who are thought to be selling the site, which is on the outskirts of Wainfleet,  on behalf of  the Environment Agency.

Perhaps, it might be snapped up by the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust - it would surely be a shame if to were become home to an angling club.
