Jack Snipe spotted bobbing foraging at RSPB Rainham Marshes

Original: A Jack Snipe Seemingly Running Away Jack Snipes aren't nearly as easy to see as the already well camouflaged Common Snip

A photographer at RSPB Rainham Marshes has captured images of a Jack Snipe feeding in front of the hide, visibly bobbing its tail as it foraged. Jack Snipes are far more elusive than the already well-camouflaged Common Snipe, so such a close, clear view of the bird is a rare treat for birdwatchers and wildlife photographers.

Why now: Clear sightings of the usually elusive Jack Snipe are unusual, so the photos are drawing attention from birdwatchers and nature lovers
