Weird bubbles and Common Snipe

   
Mostly photos from my Webs Survey which left me wondering where Dunlin, Sanderling, Bar-tailed Godwits and Grey Plovers were. I think there was a lot of activity over the weekend at East Haven which might have affected the birds, or is it the warm unseasonal weather?

Videos below from a few places and dates, click to view, all UHD except the Vixen
