Venus Pool - returning Snipe

In addition to passage birds, Venus Pool is pretty 'fluid' at the moment with the return of some winter visitors. Here's my first returning Common Snipe...

 

What you can't see - he's a 'bobber' bouncing up and down like a Jack whilst feeding, scuppering the myth that only Jack Snipe do it!




Plus a quick preen for the camera?




A welcome addition to the prospective 'big day' list tomorrow!
