A very confiding Jacksnipe at one of our sites in County Durham, confident of its cryptic camouflage it let us approach through the buffalo grass to obtain these images. We monitor the influx of these birds @HalfSnipe

For many many years, I’ve wanted an opportunity to set up a little pop-up hide to see into the secretive lives of Jack Snipes. Set up at a promising looking pool in Nottinghamshire the other day, and wowzas!!!!! 3 bobbing away in front of me tonight!
Superb portrait of a roosting bird on the N.Tees marshes

The Jack Snipe came even closer yesterday, the feather detail is so beautiful, even when hidden in the grass.

We were fortunate to be sitting in the hide at NWT Holme Dunes when this guy said he could see a Jack Snipe in the reeds in front of us, it eventually showed well after 45 minutes😃

2nd October & 1st Jack Snipe this morning back on the patch County Durham. @HalfSnipe
It’s almost time…
But seriously- How can Jacks plodge around in the clarts & not get hacky blacky up to the naffs ?? 🧐😄
This ⬇️ is what we mess on with when the Jacks gan back owa hyem.😄
Quite often we find Woodcock Snipe & Jacks all together on the same bits of rough wet ground 🎯👍🏻
To all the Birders who keep insisting it’s AUTUMN in July…
Look 👀! ⬇️
It’s Winter ! 😄

A very unseasonable Jack Snipe is at Cley NWT at the moment. It's on the Serpentine pool, but typically hiding most of the time. I finally caught up with it yesterday evening. (More pics at cleybirds.com.)
After a rather uninspiring start despite a few late Sept birds, things have picked up this week.
By 22/10, a total of x37 birds from a doz sites, with several locs still blank.
20 birds from x9 sites in core study area in NZ35/34
The regions max is 9 at Rspb Saltholme

Guess who’s back? 👀
Cuckoo Bank, Staffordshire treated us to an amazing night with 4 Jack Snipe and 1 Skylark ringed! 🌙
Plenty of other visitors too, including Common Snipe and Woodcock. What a night! 💫 #BirdRinging #returnofthejack

A dull, cold morning, so naturally have to check for jack snipes! 3 present this morning on a local site and one not too tucked away for a change. They do look like strange little aliens to me @HalfSnipe @LondonBirdClub #londonbirds
A great comparison
Good comparison between Jack Snipe and Common Snipe taken nearly in the same place on the Wader Lake a couple of days apart @WWTWashington
