Snipe with Wigeon (Gallinago gallinago)

This Snipe at Minsmere was completely dwarfed by the Wigeon next to it, which is itself quite a small bird. Ron
Habitat
Coastal wetland
Location
Minsmere, Suffolk
Date taken
19/10/08
Scientific name
Gallinago gallinago
Equipment used
Olympus E-510 + ED 70-300 + 1.4 tc
Sadly, I dont often get to see many Snipe where I am, so this is a welcome and much apprieciated glimpse of a super little bird. Well taken, Ron.
