PAINTED-SNIPE (m) ROSTRATULA BENGHALENSIS (24cm)
VERY SECRETIVE SNIPE, rarely emerges from deep tangled mangroves, very difficult to see, let alone photograph, and to get to this spot was quite an adventure, my brother wearing shorts got bitten to death by mosquitoes, with very muddy stagnant saline water, this was the only brief encounter after a longish wait.
=========================================
THANK YOU for your visit and friendship, stay safe and well.
God bless you..................Tomx
