Yesterday my missus called me to the window to see a bird in the garden - a SNIPE. I tried to get a photograph but it flew off before I could get in position. I don't think I've seen a snipe before, I'm pretty sure this isn't snipe territory. A wood-pigeon today, and a fox roaming about the nearby school field during the night. I wonder if the cold weather's making them more desperate, or if they are more visible against the snow.
All kinds of bird scran is available in the garden, and all kinds of birds drop by for a snack - but a snipe?
