20D, Sigma 500/4.5, 1/640, f4.5, beanbag, 80% of frame

We found this obliging Snipe on a recent trip to Minsmere. This was take from one of the public hides, with my head contorted against the hide roof to try and see through the viewfinder.

A really nice shot. I'd never have guessed it was taken from a hide.
