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.

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.

A Wilson's Snipe on the move.
I will be away for while after today, out taking pictures (hopefully).
On full-alert but well hidden amongst the reed stubble at Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve on the North Lincolnshire coast (UK) (3327)
Spotted this Wilson's snipe across the creek, and managed to get a few shots of it without it noting my presence.
I was watching a black phoebe working the far side of this pond, when a snipe flew in. Switched my subject for a while!
Had some great views of this Snipe
One out of a group that came really close. It was spooked a few times of Jackdaws, thats why the tail up
As always, Many thanks for taking time to view, comment and fave. Thats very much appreciated
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.
Image taken at Attenborough Nature Reserve in Nottinghamshire. These birds blend in well with the background and at first glance I didn't see them, but pleased to get four of them together in good light.
