WWT Washington Wetland Centre

 First, thanks to CB for finding me in another hide then putting me onto my second ever Jack Snipe. It was then seen by a few other delighted birders. It proved to be a cracking morning out with some great birds seen including Iceland Gull and Russian White-fronted Goose among other things.

Iceland Gull.

A couple of Lesser Black-backed Gulls took exception to it being there

And chased it off.



It soon came back.

Russian White-fronted Goose.


I saw only one Avocet while I was there.




However, I could not count the number of Shelduck, they were everywhere.

Jack Snipe & Water Rail

Had a great morning out at Far Pastures the other day, the 5th, with a Jack Snipe & two Water Rail showing well. What was great about the Jack Snipe was it was only the second one I had seen, but not only that it was also self found.
