Common Snipe
One from this Spring taken on the Hebredes where I also took a few quite big in the frame but this was one of my favourites.

Canon 1D MkII + 500 iso 320 f6.3 at 1/400 full width but cropped a little top and bottom

Lovely shot David with the fence giving a superb indication of the birds size.
The pano crop works a treat.

I usually only see Snipe hidden amongst the reeds at my local NR and rarely out in the open so it's great to see this one in your image. Agree with Justin about the crop, I think it looks great :toast:

Thanks

Good environmental shot David. Makes a change from frame filling close-ups.

Very different for that type of bird.Which is great IMO.

Nice sharpness on him aswell as lovely light :toast:

Like this loads David, proof that the bird/subject does not have to be large in the frame.
