Snipes at dusk

I had a brief visit to the patch this evening after work, in which I was surveying the waters edge around the islands and scrapes on Blott's pit for Willow saplings, which are to be hand-pulled for the next volunteer session.

One of the small reed stands in the centre of the scrapes was obviously attractive to Snipe, as i counted 29 birds as they flushed on my approach, a site record for me. Otherwise pretty quiet, although I guess the fact I was stomping around the waters edge didn't really help matters.
