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

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.

Located on the remote outskirts of Wainfleet, this wildlife site is available for about £25,000 |
