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.

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.
This one gave me my complimentary "Snipe on a fence post" for the season. They seem so skittish when encountered on a trail walk, but will allow a very close approach when perched on a roadside fence post.

I was watching a black phoebe working the far side of this pond, when a snipe flew in. Switched my subject for a while!
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!
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
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.
Taken on North Uist.
