I think it is a Snipe Maggie - do you have any pics of the 4 we saw on the mud bank to compare it with?

Thanks. I have the pics of them on the bank but they are so camouflaged on it.

Just sorting through the Blacktoft Sands pics now.
Just finished actually so I'll be uploading them tomorrow.
Beddybyes now.

Thanks again for id's.

It wasn't the Snipe John thought then, it was the Jack Snipe.


There you go Alan. Very hard to make out.

Just wondering if John took pics? He would have got better results with his lens.
