Jack Snipe video

Delivering Jr Jr to school today had a singing Stock Dove which is the first evidence I've had that they may well breed in the area rather than just being birds passing through. Then when collecting in the afternoon I saw two birds flying between houses of which one was definitely a Stock Dove and I suspect the other which I didn't see properly also was.

In the absence of new photos here is a video of Monday's Jack Snipe (remember to choose HD quality).

this picture taken with my mobile shows me filming the birds and also gives an impression of the very small wet patch the bird had chosen.
