Common Snipe except ….

… it is not common here, it is on the critically endangered list in Switzerland. So there was a lot of excitement at the Villeneuve hide today. There were 10 of them and you could just about see them as the reed beds had been cut down. After one hour the bird in the main finally moved, then the 3 in the extra opened their eyes. Their camouflage is extraordinary!

Many thanks for placing yesterday’s “Fly like a Chough” on the first Popular Page, honoured!
