Jack Snipe At Last

This winter has generally been very poor for migrant birds with one exception – Jack Snipe. I found my first one on the 14th October and by the year-end I had flushed 51 including a near record ten on one morning alone in November. This week I came across Jack Snipe number 52 but this time there was a bonus – it did not fly off!! A quick drive home for my camera and when I returned it was in exactly the same position. I took my photos and left it in peace! click here
