The snipe is a medium-sized wader, they are found in marshes, wet grassland and on moorlands, they use their long, probing bill to find insects, earthworms and crustaceans in the mud. There were a good number of Snipe at Titchfield Haven this morning.








The Snipe is another bird that is so camouflaged that it blends very well into its habitat. They are often invisible until they move. There are 3 birds in the picture below I only saw 1 when I took the picture.

Whenever you post Snipe images, I can’t help but think of the prankish ‘Snipe Hunt’ which is a standard rite of summer camp. An unwitting person is invited to go on an elusive Snipe hunt in search of something that doesn’t exist.

New one on me David, something not done here. Although you send the new employee to collect a long “wait”.
