Stephen again was working hard and found a Jack Snipe yesterday (Wednesday), so this morning I decided to have a look. With half an before work I managed to find a COMMON SNIPE in the first piece of suitable habitat. With Jack Snipe liking not to move if they can help it, I wasn't expecting success but a small clearing in the long grass produced two golden lines that stood out brightly, crouched looking at me was a smart
JACK SNIPE (63), I even managed a couple of pics before backing away and leaving the bird in peace. A quick look around for the few minutes I had left provided a few of the usual birds including 100 or so FIELDFARE, NUTHATCH, GREY HERON and around a 100 COMMON GULLS in the stubble field with the sheep.

I have tried to find the Jack Snipe that was here, before it flew up, but I always failed!

The Jack Snipe is an awesome find, Alan! Well done!
The plumage of the Jack Snipe is awesome!
Very well done Alan and on the photo too. The Nuthatch looked very un-Nuthach like in fluffed up mode ;-)
