Most of the day spent at the RSPB Dungeness reserve with my thermal camera looking for Snipe and Jack Snipe with Martin. In the end we located 23 Snipe and 2 Jack Snipe. Without the aid of the thermal camera we almost certainly would not have located the Jack Snipe and if we had then we would have flushed them. It felt really good to get excellent views of them both and just leave them in peace afterwards. It's much harder to do the same with Snipe which despite having excellent camouflage, insist on flying off before you get anywhere near them.

At the Return Trail, 11 Great Crested Newts were under the felts.
