User's notes
First seen on 9 Jan and still around on 11th. Maximum nr birds seen at any one time 4. The pictures were taken from about 130m distance so apologies for the bad quality but they do show some detail - like the yellow legs that threw me for a while because Slater's shows the snipes with grey legs. Latham's snipe seems the most likely ID.
