Oh so close
Photographing a grouse over a wall, turned and spotted this snipe watching me, so fired off a few, went to move out for better angle and off it went, couldn't get within a 100yards from then on.

I think there's a lot going for the image. Stone walls always seem to add a lovely texture to shots. The OOF rock is a minor nit for me :toast:

Indeed, so very close as must be frustrating but you captured it extremely well considering the circumstances. Nicely done.
