A pair of Black-winged Stilts has successfully bred at Frampton Marsh RSPB, with four chicks hatching in recent days.
It is the first time the species has nested at the Lincolnshire reserve, or indeed anywhere in the county, with the reserve proudly announcing the news this afternoon [6 June 2023].

The Frampton Marsh breeding attempt comes amid an exceptional spring for Black-winged Stilt in Britain, with no fewer than 50 different sites recording the species during May. It seems likely further breeding record will be confirmed in the weeks to come.
Frampton is open 24 hours a day, with the visitor centre, cafe and toilets open from 10 am until 4 pm daily.
