The Snipe probing for prey....
A medium-sized wader, the snipe lives in marshes, wet grassland and moorlands, where it nests in simple scrapes. It uses its long, probing bill to find insects, earthworms and crustaceans in the mud, typically swallowing prey whole. During the breeding season, males can be heard making a unique 'drumming' sound as their tail feathers vibrate in the wind as they perform their aerial courtship displays.
The sunset was amazing.....................
I still had my bird-photography long 400mm lens on the camera when I spotted this young couple in the ocean.
Thanks for looking, etc.:)
