SNIPE // GALLINAGO GALLINAGO (25-28cm)
A DISTINCTIVE wader that is easily recognized by its dumpy rounded body, rather short legs and its incredibly long straight bill. The latter is used to probe vetically down-wards in soft mud, in the manner of a sewing machine. The sexes are similar. A long wait for this one to work its way roud the Restharrow Scrape, at Sandwich Bay Kent. for me to reap this reward.

THANK YOU for your visit and kind comments, enjoy the Easter Holiday long weekend, stay safe and well, God bless
