Hi all

Here are two shots of a Common Snipe. It can be really hard to get a decent shot of this skittis bird so I must say I'm quite pleased with these. Please feel free to comment (C&C). :-)

These are gorgeous. I want to see one. I've heard them, though at the time I had no idea what was making that noise!

Sindri, do you ever take a less-than-perfect shot?

When I was in Boy scouts many many years ago we would hunt them with a bag and stick.

Never did get one!!!! :grin:

Just beautiful shots Sindri. I've hunted them too, with a bag and stick, at night, with no flashlight. :D

It's amazing how you can make a relatively monochromatic bird look so colorful. These are great.

Very nice shots Sindri. I have some shots of this bird but all are against a cluttered background.
