SNIPE // GALLINAGO GALLINAGO (25-28cm)

DISTINCTIVE WADER is easily recognized by its dumpy, rounded body, rather short legs, and its incredibly long, straight bill. The latter is used to probe vertically downwards in soft mud, in the manner of a sewing machine. Seen at the scrap Sandwich Bay, and only for a brief few seconds before disappearing into the long grasses again.
