A couple of hours out.

Sounds like a nice morning out Toto....clever idea with the camera! They are clear enough to see the bird. Thanks for showing them!

Difficult to spot and known to be shy and secretive so did well to get any form of shot Toto .

I love the sound of your morning Toto, i'm envious :-))))
You did well to get these photos, they're great !

Nice to see this bird, Toto, sounds like a great place to visit.

My goodness - you do know your birds, don't you! I think I'd have been able to ID maybe two of those. I don't think I've ever seen a snipe! I have now! :-)))

Well done Toto, thats what I like (determination). Rain and snow here all day so our trip out cancelled, thanks for sharing yours.......

What a perfect morning out Toto. Its so difficult to get photos of the shy birds, you did well, thanks for sharing with us.

They have come out very well

Well done Toto, they can be hard enough to spot in the first place and then to hold your camera up to your scope and not shiver in the cold - I'm impressed.

Is a snipe the one that flies high while making an odd whirring sound as it dives through the air after bugs? If so ...I have only ever seen and heard one from a long way down on the ground...while it was far above me when I was in an opening in the forest.

smashing blog and good photo all things considering. :o)

Thank you all for your kind comments. The only view I normally get of a Snipe is one where I have disturbed it and it is flying away.

glad you enjoyed your walk toto and got to see some lovely birds to :o))

Thanks Sandra.
