Evening visit (Sunday 16th) to the eastern end of Little Woolden Moss LWTNR until the rain settled in properly to see if that made a difference to what's about but it only meant I saw less - did however hear a Water Rail doing a lot of calling at the east end of the Eastern Pools.

But I may have flushed a Jack Snipe - can't be sure because the light was fading and I've no experience of differentiating between Jack & "normal" Snipes - my immediate thought was "Snipe" but that was straight away followed by "but it's not making any noise, it's staying low and it's landed not that much further away" - is that "normal" Snipe behaviour if it's just before roosting or possibly near a nest?
