Snipe.

Julie50 · Apr 11, 2018

Common snipe it is indeed! One of those days when loads were out there, but it was really hard to see them!&#55357;&#56833;

That was from the Minsmere reference - saw 2 Jacks there from North Hide a couple of weeks back. Luckily the views were (slightly) better than the photo!

People in the hide said they could see a Jack snipe, but I could not claim I did! All the ones I could see looked common to me - still love them though!

Not the teal!

Well first, I tried playing "spot the bird" - only problem I can't find one :-O

Unless at top edge centre, those are two legs - so I'll say Black-tailed Godwit.

Nope - that is some reeds

Are you sure you haven't seen a Jack Snipe..?

jape · Apr 13, 2018

there is a vagrant goldfish by the little bright green plant in the water far left, didnt know they can fly!
is there a little birdy on the black stem of reeds above the white plastic? a female bunting? or male if that is a black head, sitting sideways

Julie50 · Apr 14, 2018

Nope to both - Neil78 closest

Another Snipe, left of and behind the stick in the water.

Indeed - I am trying to download another photo, but am in my caravan in the Malvern Hills so the wifi is not great!

Wasps had a great win though

Julie50 · Apr 15, 2018

Great cricket today on our way home - then rain stopped play - of course!

Here is my little snipe

Great bank holiday weather - in the Peak District with the trusty caravan.

Who is this?
