The two images above show the bird below the lighthouse at Flamborough on 13/9/08 in comparison below with the wing detail of a 1st winter Common Snipe that I caught in Mongolia in 2004.

Wow - great shots, I heard conditions there weren't great either.
Hi Mark. It's a bit unclear, but are you suggesting that the Great Snipe was not quite as great as some birders would hope.
P.S
What went wrong last night :)
