Bigger than a standard wee brown thing, smaller than a fat pudgeon. #birdexpert

Spent about 10 minutes watching the least shy treecreeper ever this afternoon, the best view I’ve ever had of one.

british-birdsongs.uk This the page I listened to, it was exactly the noise in the first couple of seconds of the snipe clip. I went to the page to listen to a golden plover, then saw "snipe" and realised I'd been seeing lots of them but didn't know what they sounded like. We get a fair few near us here (they scare the shit out of the horses when out riding) but I've never heard the noise before! So distinctive. Once you've heard it once you're unlikely to forget it in a hurry. Theoretically it looks like I run where they should be about but never recall hearing anything like it before, nor probably spotting them.
There are plenty in the places you run Paul (I had a good view of one just below Percy Rigg last Sunday). Though it's more usual to see them zig zagging away to close to the ground when you disturb them rather than hear them.

Going to have to keep a better eye or eat out. Been up around the moors near Percy Rigg plenty at the moment.

Small thud earlier then a dropping feather. Dead siskin from hitting a window outside the patio doors 😭😭
Loads of the out there still, but always sad and they are so pretty close up.

Plenty of owls calling on my run tonight, tawnies, barn owls, at one point both at the same time, and a small possibility of a small eared owl call.
No snipe haha.

On a beach in Mull, farmland next to me with 2 birds that I can't identify. Looked a wee bit like a nuthatch. Slightly bigger. Black, white stripes and a light orangey brown chest. Any ideas?
Also ringed plovers, a meadow pippit and some oyster catchers.
