Bird: Common Snipe (Gallinago gallinago) Hiding in the Reeds

Shy Little Birds

 

 

These characters, usually conceal themselves very well.

Most of the time, I don't spot them, quickly enough to focus and shoot the camera.

But, today the light was just right and, I saw the bird before it spotted me.
