12.30-1.15pm - similar to previous days. 50+ snipe many frequently in the air, single ruff on the flash, no sign of green sandpiper. Calling buzzard and sparrowhawk (heard). Good numbers of corvids, woodpigeon, swallow, lapwing, starling on the fields (and yet more snipe) and similarly mallard and teal on the flashes.
