We all love birds, but how well do we know them? What bird is this? It’s certainly got some moves.

Oh no! What stupidity! If Wash barrage goes ahead it will be an environmental disaster. If it doesn't go ahead, this will be a huge waste of time and money, as NGOs fight the plan. Background to scheme: waderquest.net/wp-content/upl…

One from last year,Jack snipe in freeze mode at Parkgate.Right outside the Boathouse pub.

We pinched this of the West Midlands lads FB Thermal site West Midlands Ringing Group A Rose amongst Thorns if ever we saw one 😊

Nothing worse than someone “pinching” images & not giving credit 😬😄👍🏻 A stunning image such great fieldwork 🙌🏻

Sneaky

More of the Jack Snipe. This video shows how it reacts when I make my visible as I go to collect the camera. Note how it flattens itself against the water.

Question - Jack Snipe are a green conservation species, however we know little about them. StaffsWildlife 🦔🍄🦇 Cuckoo Bank, we regularly record between 40-100 Jack Snipe each visit on specific fields. Has anyone else recorded 100+ Jack Snipe on any other day or night site in the UK?
