During the month of December between 30 and 60 Common Snipe could regularly be seen on the sand spit at Little Marlow GP. During sunny periods they would be very active feeding across the sand spit. I had previously observed them gathering at dusk in an area to the NW side of the sand spit. Then on 18th I visited the site just after 9am on a cold day and over 25 Snipe were asleep in the same area as I saw them gathering, so I assume they roost in this area. The total count today was 57 birds, an impressive number.
