Hi all,
what do you think about this Snipe?
I ask, because I saw, 2 days ago, at the same spot, a
Snipe flushing with a call, I never heard before!
Pin-tailed Snipe or is there a chance for an other possibility?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Peter

Geat pic Peter and if I'm not seeing things wrongly it seems - in the last pic - that the upperpart of the tail shows pin shapped outer t-feathers, which would make your bird a Pintail.
