    Good for you. I guess they are looking for worms/grubs. Maybe you could try putting out mealworms? Any chance of a pic? Thx!

    Great to get a Snipe in a garden.:) Had one once many years back, but a Jack Snipe would be a real rarity. They are scarce around most of the country at the best of times but in the garden???

    This must be catching.:D.Never did I think i'd see a snipe, never mind getting a photo of one.
    Took this in my front garden today!
    Poor quality photo I know.
