A chance to visit 2 sites in one day. We meet in the car park at Whisby which is south of Lincoln. This site is famous for its nightingales but they have been less numerous in recent years. We will then move on to the RSPB Langford Lowfield site which is near Newark. This is another relatively recent site which is becoming well-established.
