Snipe

No one in their right mind would have described today's gloomy weather as spring-like but some birds seem to think so. Like the migrating six snipe and five green sandpipers which were happily paddling away in what's left of the Bandiat flood this morning. A few swallows were zigzagging around for insects but the only duck were mallard, no sign of any garganey this Spring.
Nearby in the Braconne nuthatches and treecreepers were very active with at least five of the latter on show within a hundred metres or so.
