The day after my somewhat alcohol filled birthday party we actually managed
to get up and popped to the London Wetland Centre for a short walk around. This proved to be a good idea as we met people in the Peacock Tower who had just seen a couple of Jack Snipe and were scoping the area where they were last seen. Within minutes a stripy
bird made a dash for it, inadvertently
revealing the other bird happily sitting in the vegetation
where he remained at least until we left the hide, a good half an hour after. These two were only my second and third Jack Snipe, so I greatly enjoyed viewing them.

We managed an excellent list of 40 species, with another highlight being a lone Brambling on the feeders which showed briefly. One of my favourite
ducks is the Pintail and a pair of these were asleep quite close to the hide.
