Snipe

Every year I pile the summers grass cuttings on one particular area of the garde. It usually proves popular for winter feeding particularly the blackbirds but today it had a visit from a Snipe. Unfortunately couldn't get too close but this is probably the first time I've noticed a snipe's legs.

Quite pleased to have had a snipe in the garden and he blends in very well and probably wouldn't have noticed him if the sun hadn't been shining.
