...... is a jack snipe sat obligingliy in the end of a scope for me to drool over for a quarter of an hour! double dribble! i went to druridge bay (a promise made by my parents in july) at the start of the half term. we were looking at the map and my dad said 'how about Cresswell Ponds?' i thought 'no there wont be anything interesting there' but oh how i was wrong; golden plover, redshank, snipe, little grebe red breasted merganser, goldcrest and pink footed goose to name but a few - and of course jack snipe. i wish i had taken my camera then i could have shown you a picture. (admittedly with more reed than snipe!)
we then carried on down to druridge pools where i added a meagre 2 species at the place i thought would be better. shows how good my judgment is! :) after that disappointment a walk on the beach produced a flock of contraversial common scooters. contraversial because my dad took some persuading that they we scooters. (i pointed out that his bins were nearly 100 years old and goosander-tinted!)
p.s. i would just like to point out that it wasnt my scope but the-nice-man-you-always-seem-to-find-in-the-hide's scope.
