Snipe on Drystone Wall

Unable to travel up North this Spring due to Covid-19 so here is an image from my last trip to the Yorkshire Dales.

These lovely little waders will often sit on the drystone walls in the evenings but normally fly off when you point a lens at them.

They nest in the damp meadows on the moorland and use the walls as lookout posts.

i was lucky with this one as it remained on the wall long enough to get a few close shots from my car.
