This morning 26 Common Snipe 1 possible Jack Snipe as i didnt get a great view before it went down. Note a few of the Common Snipe here have the characteristics of the Jack Snipe of flying about 50yds then going down without calling so unless you get a good view you can be duped into thinking that you have seen a Jack Snipe 2 Reed Bunting singing
