Been a good season for Snipe this year and the first time that we,ve had so many Gt Spotted Wdpeckers moving.
Seems like a good site you,ve got there, do you still watch from the cricket field or from your garden ?

I used to watch from just next to the cricket pitch and still do when the local bull is asleep in the next field down,The next door neibour was running through the field last May and the bull charged him and put him in hospital for 8 weeks.I do most from the garden or the cricket pitch after that little episode.
