Michaela Strachan taking a liking to Martin's snipe. (And this is not anagram!) The guy on the right looks likes he's holding a photo that someone took in the snow!
Did you see it? On Saturday night the Wilson's Snipe, that has been at Lower Moors since the 15th September, became famous on Autunm Watch. I used Martin's superb shot on the 31st October on me blog, along with so many others. Good one mate! Take a look at Martin Goodey website http://www.mpgoodeyphotography.com/
And here it is
I didn't have much time, due to work. However, a quick look at Lower Moors this morning found a Yellow-browed Warbler calling. Approaching the hides and I could hear a very vocal DUSKY WARBLER and it didn't take to long to locate it. In front of the hides was the WILSON'S SNIPE, 3 Snipe, 1 Grey Wagtail, 1 Greenshank and 3 Little Egret. Not bad in 15 minutes!

There were up to 3 Little Egret on the pool
Later I just had time to look at Porth Hellick. Again as I was walking on the path from the crossroads, I could hear the other DUSKY WARBLER. However, this one stayed well at the back on the otherside of the ditch and all I got was glimpses of it. The Yellow-browed Warbler above it showed a lot better and nearby I could hear one of the Siberian Chiffchaff calling. It was time to go and on the airfield there were 7 Skylark.

That dolphin sp at Bar Point that I thought might of been a Stiped yesterday, has been identified as an adult Bottle-nosed Dolphin

Watch this! This was sent to me by Martin Goodey this evening and I thought I would like to share it with everyone.

350 km with a high ISO HD Camera developed by NHK Japan,
nicknamed the SS-HDTV camera. All credit goes to them. I also like the music on this.
