RSPB Frampton Marsh

Frampton Marsh is a nature reserve in Lincolnshire, England. The reserve is situated on the coast of The Wash, some 4 miles from the town of Boston, between the outfalls of the Rivers Welland and Witham (covering an area of mature salt marsh known as The Scalp), and near the village of Frampton. Most of the reserve is managed by the RSPB with part managed by the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust. There is a small visitor centre at the entrance to the reserve.

Fauna and flora

Birds

Thousands of migrating birds gather at Frampton Marsh. Species which can be regularly observed here include pied avocet, common redshank and curlew. The reserve frequently sees nationally rare bird species appear, the majority of which are rare waders. These have included a black-winged stilt, broad-billed sandpiper and Wilson's phalarope during 2015[2] and a lesser yellowlegs during 2014.[3]

gollark: You could probably have some sort of thing where heavdrones *initially* connect as unprivileged, and only get a comms mode key after they are remotely inspected somehow, but like all DRM-y schemes it is flawed against anyone actually paying attention.
gollark: They heavdrone.
gollark: Yes, heavdrones are autonomous systems.
gollark: Heavpoot wanted me to do something about this, but I have no idea what, so it remains unresolved.
gollark: PotatOS computers do *not* require this, but heavdrones use comms mode.
