There was once a youngster on his lifetime journey with the natural world (especially birdwatching) who, one rain-blessed and windswept day, was introduced to the diminutive Jack snipe.

‘Twas the month of festivities, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse… except for a few notable birds on our reserves!

A flooded field, a large pool formed and, finding this to its liking, along came a little egret, on Day Nine of #12DaysWild
