Great Snipe

Common Snipe and Bittern

Jack snipe must be one of the most difficult bird songs to record. Spent three hours by the wetland and it sang a total of three 2-second long sequences during this time. If the parabolic dish is slightly off, nothing is recorded. Not the best recording but still something! It is the tail feathers that make this strange sound/song. April 27, 2023. Tierp, Uppland.

The notoriously difficult Jack Snipe

Woodcocks are still roding in the forest despite a rather late date in the summer.

Woodcock roding

At dawn first a Common Sandpiper displayed close to my drop rig and a few moments later a Green Sandpiper took over the scene.
