    Great snipe (Gallinago media) Achladeri Lesvos 30/04/22

    Skulking around a small marshy area, Marc and I initially dismissed this as a common snipe when we found it on the 29th April. A closer look the following day rewarded us with better views and confirmation through the wing bars, that the species was indeed a Great snipe , another scarce passage...

    Snipe Chicks

    Two young chicks out in the open with a parent. Unfortunately two became one after a Kestrel swooped down and took one of them.

    Wilson's snipe

    Another well-camouflaged bird, who likes to stand among the wetlands grasses in the mud or shallow water and blend in.

    Common Snipe in Rain

    The usually hard to find Wilson's snipe has been popping up a lot lately - this marks the 4th time I've photographed one in 4 weekends, and this time at a different wetlands than the previous shots. I'm not complaining, though!

    Wilson's snipe

    Another lucky spotting last weekend - this very elusive and very well hidden bird is one I may get to see once or twice a year, and some years not at all.

    Latham's Snipe

    Several were out in the open feeding, next to a waterhole in the early evening. Uncommon behaviour here, they normally feed at night under the cover of darkness and keep out of sight during the day.
