Leucistic Snipe.

There was no sign of any adult WT Eagle at the nest as we started the tour so we decided to call back later in the day when the weather had improved. Four Otters on the shore were a better sighting.
You would think this bird was stuffed but it's not always there!
The Adder was visible but the cooler conditions didn't help much but we got nice views of Whinchat while we waited.
Best sighting of the day was leucistic Common Snipe that I first saw last June - awesome bird.
Good views of a few Mountain Hare and the weather was finally starting to break.
A couple of Raven were hanging around the pig fields...
...and our WT Eagle sighting was worth waiting for.

Great shot of the leucistic Common Snipe Bryan, and good to see some wet weather shooting!
