Yellow Wags and posing Snipe

We've had a good number of Yellow Wags for over a week now with up to triple figures of them in the valley here. This evening was perhaps the quietest one of late with only a few showing/calling so perhaps the NW winds prompted a bit of a clear out today.

The waders have remained fairly similar on Black Hole Marsh recently with the lingering Ruff being the best of it. Other notables include up to 6 Greenshanks and 11 Green Sandpipers as my peak counts, with 3-5 of each more typical most days. Snipe and Teal numbers are building with 11+ and 25+ respectively and some of the former were showing very well yesterday morning. 

None of the Snipe shots are particularly detailed as strong sunlight will nearly always result in heat haze to some extent. Still, I've never known them to show so well here!
