    Know am like a stuck record but I'm amazed the snipe have survived so long with no cover - both birds were moving around in open view today for more than an hour, hunkering down in no cover and being exposed to the elements - delighted to pick up the two today and long may they persist

    Great shots. Later on, a pair of Bullfinch and a Chiffchaff between the hide and the car park.

    Its nice to have at least 2 Snipe Mark, and in a close position.

    The path leading to and from the hide is always good for the warblers, perhaps we should spend a little more time there. It would make a fantastic area for a small woodland hide with feeders.

    Good idea Brian but if the trust put a few feeders up they won't build another hide that will be the only update for the site for a while.
