Jack Snipe in the snow (Lymnocryptes minimus)

At last! Managed to get a shot of a Jack Snipe - and with a Snipe for comparison. May not be the best photo in the world, but it's only the 3rd one I've seen!

Cor, very well spotted and captured. What a great sight. I bet you were grinning from ear to ear ;)

Thanks all, and yes Hobbes2 I was pretty chuffed! Great views! I note that you are in Herts so this site is really not too far for you, I saw 3 there just standing in one spot - and yesterday there were 5 evidently! They have been regular in exactly the same spot for over a week. The site is about a mile from Luton on the road to Wheathampstead, (Lower Luton Road) TL128172 - If you do go and need further directions please don't hesitate to PM me,

cheers, Martin
