Where's that come from?!

Huge surprise this morning, whilst I was gazing out at the Goldfinches scarfing all our nyger seed - a Snipe flying over the garden.  Que?

In 13 years this is probably the most unusual garden flyover.  It was flying relatively low too, making me wonder where it had come from.  The grassy tussocks of CMK (less than a mile away) are the most likely habitat.  This area held a few Snipe in the past, before the half-arsed development went up.

So a reminder to self - sneak through the fences and check CMK, before winter finally fades away.
