Snipe digging in the Snow - Conduit, Hakin

This unexpected Snipe was in somebody's front garden as I did the short walk from my house to Conduit Beach this afternoon.

As reported by others, there were dozens of Redwing and I also found both several Lapwings and some Golden Plover at Conduit Beach when I got there - the first time I've seen them there.
In our own garden, we also had Redwing and a female Blackcap was also present.
