My first flight shot of a Snipe. I was shooting at at it while it was perched on a fence post and got this one frame as it took flight.

Taken during the cold spell in December 2022. With the ground frozen, this Snipe was more obliging than usual and was probing around in the soil presumably finding unfrozen nooks and crannies.
SNIPE are invariably associated with waterlogged or boggy ground, so with its incredible long straight bill, it probes the mud almost vertically downwards in the manner of a sewing machine. Normally a very shy and retiring bird, seen at the Restharrow scape, Sandwich Bay, Kent.

The first time I drove down this road, there was a snipe sat up on a post. My next visit (7 years later), this Snipe was sat on the exact same post.

Common Snipe, I had to take a second look at this from my car as i passed it, and it was calling too! A first for me!
I always love to see Snipe on their moorland breeding grounds. This one allowed me to photograph it from over a wall.
