Observation details
A wonderful surprise, as Snipe always are! I just about stood on it before it fluttered off a short way, its pot bellied shape causing me to exclaim its name! It soon landed among a clump of Sharpies, before vanishing into the reeds without any fanfare at all. I suspect its lack of concern was due to the openness of the flats, which must've increased its confidence in keeping watch. While it mightn't still hold the title of my favourite bird, which it did for years, I find the Snipe is still a joy to observe!
