Doubt it, Fouad. Had several Common Snipe, but the area was disturbed by a group of workers.
Spotted Redshank still present this morning, along with a Grey Plover, but no Jack Snipe despite intense grilling of the sedge-lined edges. Raptors included a ringtail Pallid Harrier, GSE and a fine Long-legged Buzzard.
