SNIPE / GALLINAGO GALLINAGO.

A DISTINCTIVE WADER, dumpy, rounded body, rather short legs, and its incredibly long straight bill, to probe vertically down-wards in soft mud, in a manner of a sewing machine. A shy retiring bird!

Seen at Stodmarsh N R, in Kent, in the distinguished company of Steve Ashton and Little John. and what a joy to see some sun!!!
