Happy jack

After a wasted trip to Abberton yesterday i decided to return to the island a see if the Grey Phalarope was still present at the country park and it was. Although as i arrived another birdwatcher told me he had seen 2 jack snipe. So after an hour off scanning the margins this little beauty strolled in to view.

Spot the jack snipe

After visiting Essex Wildlife Trust, Abberton. To see the Lapland bunting's a few weeks ago. I was told that a jack snipe had been seen from the layer breton causeway, earlier that morning. So off i went in search and after sometime careful scanning of the margins i finally found this well hidden beauty.
