JACK SNIPE and GOOSANDERS at East Hyde



I spent a couple of hours at East Hyde this afternoon. When I arrived, there were 7 Common Snipe and a Green Sandpiper in the channel but no sign of any Jack Snipe. Eventually the Jack did appear (see attached image) and showed well for about 15 minutes before disappearing into the vegetation again. This is the first Jack Snipe I've ever seen that didn't bob. The two drake GOOSANDERS discovered by Darin Stanley this morning flew upriver (Alan Reynolds).
