As youngster I thought the Snipe was a mythical creature in search of which older boys sent new boy scouts. Not until my 30s was I introduced to the haunting sound of the real and ventriloquistic Snipe as it dove from high in the sky. Your rhombous friend is beautiful.
Gorgeous markings.
Yes. Easy to see in the snows, but not otherwise.
Very nice! Really stands out in the snow!
Great shot!… which makes you even better as a professional sniper! 🙂
Thanks Tom. 🙂
That beautiful bird again! Great photo.
Thank you.
