Alas, I could not depict the snipe in my pictures...only the ducks.
I shifted position and tried again, but you may or may not spot them.
This was the best I could manage. We ended our excursion to WWT Arundel with a viewing at the new feeder station, where the tame robins hang.
We popped into Swanbourne Lake on our way home, and I took just one shot of some pigeons - with the gulls and other water birds.
Our next trip was to Leonardslee Gardens & they had the sculptures display finished this trip. On our last excursion they only had half in situ.
There, amongdst the camelia bushes, were a sculpted pair of cockatoos. This reminded me of when I tried to grow sunflowers in the back yard in Wollongong. A flock of cockatoos flew in from the city park across the road and devoured the seeds before I could!
Here is a reminder of what the real thing looks like.
That new feeder station looks gigantic. I like the sculpted cockatoos-- they look like they're made of metal.
