Snipe - Lifer (Gallinago gallinago)

Snipe - Lifer - Big crop on a dull day but I think you can tell what it is.
Habitat
During the breeding season snipe are best look for on moorland, especially on early spring mornings when males can be heard giving their 'drumming' or 'bleating' display. In winter, look patiently around the edges of pools in well-vegetated wetlands.
