Smaller than snipe with a shorter bill. It is a secretive bird and when approached it tends to crouch down, relying on its camouflaged plumage, only flying at the last minute. It will fly low and rapidly drop down again, unlike snipe which zig-zags and then flies off high. When feeding it has a characteristic 'bouncing' motion, as if on a spring.R.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Referring to your narrative, it's amazing again that you've found and could capture it. It must have trasmitted a reconnaissance signal to you, lol. Rare and excellent capture Richie.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
I can almost see you crouching down to get an image of this secretive bird. It looks kind of shy, but realize that's its natural behavior. Excellent capture, Richie.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
I like the pattern of lines in the grass and those in the feathers. Judging from its shyness and its antics, this is a very special shot! I like it.

Wow what fabulous detail and find, they really are camouflaged, looks as if he was just having a snooze, but he's keeping his eyes on you
