Jack shows well at last

It started totally fog bound, so I stayed at home, but by mid am it was beautifully bright and clear and after a hopeful very sunny morning walk around the Sandford, the Chiffchaff still showing, then the Loddon hearing Nuthatch, 1-2 Treecreepers, 1-2 Great Spots, 3-4 Redwing and not a whole lot else, it was time for me to drop into DP Ctr for a chat. Geoff soon texted saying the Jack Snipe was fully on show, but apart from putting the news out I had to wait nearly 30 minutes, no worries of course it was still showing nicely, mostly asleep, but a occasional bobs kept us sure it was awake. Lavell's remains the place in Berks to see Jack Snipe without having to tread on them, always such a great bird.
