Jack Snipe

Saturday started off murky and damp with very little to be seen across the marsh and not much at the observatory. A call alerted us to a Jack snipe at Hanson Hide so we drove round and there it was standing very still and just bobbing occasionally. On the flood were several Golden Plover, Lapwing and ducks and the Glossy Ibis showed off and on distantly on the far side of the lake.
We drove down to the visitor's centre and walked on to Firth hide where there had been a report of a Yellow-browed Warbler but it didn't appear, however, a Cetti's called and several Chiffchaffs flitted in and out of the bushes.
