GREAT SNIPE!

Popped down the road this morning to hopefully get a peep at the "big Snipe" (P.156, S.113). Bumped into a few familiar faces and timed it perfectly for the bird as it was showing down to 5 yards!!

The frightening thing was that when I added it to my records I discovered it was TWENTY YEARS since I had my other sighting...at Spurn (19/9/1993). This was re-inforced when I bumped into Andrew Kinghorn who informed me he was one year old when I saw it!! There's nowhere quite like Spurn.

Now then...I wonder if there's another hiding on my clifftop?!
