Loddon Valley - 24th January

Today I headed to North Hampshire to the Loddon Valley to the north-east of Basingstoke. A tailless Richard's Pipit had been present in a wet field in the valley bottom for a few days as well as a few Jack Snipe. With the use of my thermal camera I soon found a couple of Jack Snipe but despite criss crossing the field on several occasions the Pipit eluded me. My eBird checklist can be viewed here.
