Common Snipe
A "quiet" morning at Tophill Low this morning, mainly due to the fact that I had forgotten my hearing aids! I arrived at about 0530hrs and spent 4hours visiting all of the hides except Hempholme. Only met two people in total! I spent most of the time at South Marsh East where wader numbers were increasing, including Black-tailed Godwits 2 (my first of the year); Greenshanks 4; at least 12 Green Sandpipers; at least 5 Common Sandpipers; at least 8 Common Snipe and 1 Redshank. Biggest problems for me this morning was distance of the birds and the position of the Sun!
