    Brian. Good to see you managed a sighting and photo of the Redshank. Considering the light today you've done pretty well.

    Couldn't let you down Kevin. Forgot to put Common Snipe down on the list.If anyone sees the two Snipe perhaps they could mention it on the blog, I have a horrible feeling that one has disappeared.
