There's One!

Latham's Snipe (Gallinago hardwickii)

 

I spent some time at the Heathdale - Glen Orden Wetlands with David ( www.flickr.com/photos/birdsaspoetry ) and Dorothy ( www.flickr.com/photos/friendsintheair ) and Andy this morning doing a preliminary count of the Snipes before an official count next week.

These tend to rise out of the grasses and reeds very quckly, fly fast and often erratically.

 

Back to catch up soon.
