Jack Snipe trying to stay unseen amongst the dead stems in a marsh

2cy drake Scaup with 3 drake Tufted Ducks on Cole Mere

Before the gull roost, popped in to see @pilning.bsky.social 's smart 2cy drake Scaup at Cole Mere, and as usual just had to say hi to Jack #shropshirebirding #thermalbirding #marshstarling

Still here! One week on, roosting on the same tiny puddle in the clearfell #marshstarling #dwarfturtle #jacksnipe #thermalbirding @HalfSnipe x.com/saloplarus/status/176275...

Half an hour before sunrise, this little beauty flew in to join me and the grouse in some wet #Kintyre clearfell at 200m asl. Brightened up the day! #marshstarling #dwarfturtle #jacksnipe @HalfSnipe

Jackpot! Nine of these little gems pushing the phonebinning to its limits this morning 🧐💯 #jacksnipe #thermalbirding #marshStarling

It was all about the jacks today: one to change a tyre in the dark this morning and 9 (NINE!) in a little marsh once I got to work. Love em 😍 #jacksnipe #marshStarling #dayoftwohalves

Lifetime ambition achieved at work this morning. Little beauty!
