1 of 2 Jack Snipe seen this morning
This morning I joined AJG and RW in a pleasant walk around the trapping area, Desert and Long Pits, where wellingtons are now essential for accessing large areas. We did not see many birds but we did see of note 2 Jack Snipe, a Common Snipe and heard Water Rails.
