ANOTHER VISIT TO ICE STATION MARSH LANE.


Went to Marsh Lane again this morning getting there at 9.30 AM to find it sunny but bitterly cold.The pools were in the main iced over but luckily the only clear water on the CP pool was right in front of the hide so there were great views of hundreds of ducks and gulls etc but other than a Shellduck nothing new was found.

Joined some birders in the oak hide and it wasn't long before we found 3 Jack Snipes among the numerous Common Snipe.At one time they were very close to each other but were a bit distant and asleep.Here a few cropped shots of them (the flight shot I pretty certain is a Common Snipe ??).
