Snipe - (Gallinago gallinago)
This is your poor old Sidney snipe as opposed to Jack snipe, which is one of the commonest questions I'm asked.
This has been deliberately taken showing it's natural habitat in amongst the reeds, where it's camouflage is amazing and to me, adds interest to the composition.
To the doubters, I have literally hundreds of shots of them isolated in water, surrounded by even more water, which I find rather boring, although really good reflection shots are ok :-)
