Awesome shots, if the snipe in the US are as evasive as they are in the UK then you did really well.

GaryFairhead Cream of the Crop  More info | May 23, 2007 16:51 | #23 Terrific images here Sindri. Love the poses, perch , BG and clarity in both images. It is similar to our Wilsons Snipe but there are differences according to my guides. Excellent work! Gary Fairhead C/C welcome .....

I really appreciate it. village idiot wrote in post #3250166  Sindri, do you ever take a less-than-perfect shot? The quality of shots posted on this forum is very high so I do try to post my better once here. cannylad wrote in post #3252056 Spot on as ever Sindri, i presume this is with the Bigma and a convertor? Taken with the Bigma but no TC used for this shot. Lame-Duck wrote in post #3254420 Really outstanding shot.....around here, they are an extremely tough bird to photograph. Ditto. Definitely not the easiest bird to capture. Stephen Stephen wrote in post #3256366 Very nice captures Sindri. The orange lichen on the post looks like a marine species Xanthoria. Was the post near the high tide mark by any chance? No this post was not near the high tide mark but I can see what you mean. Best regards
