Observation details

Possibly 2. I took my eyes away and when I looked back I thought I saw the snipe entering the reeds, but then I saw one standing where it had been. Doesn't get much better than seeing a snipe while hearing (and seeing) 2 Kingfishers!! watched for ~40 minutes. Snipe only moved a few feet one time.
