Common Snipe
Gallinago gallinago
TR: Su cullugu

Phylum: Chordata
Class: Aves
Order: Charadriiformes
Family: Scolopacidae
Genus: Gallinago

*A Snipe can easily be identified, either by its extraordinarily long bill or by its familiar camouflaged plumage with stripes through its head and down its back. When flushed, a Snipe rises noisily and vertically, zig-zagging to a height before dropping some distance away. The long bill, pointed wings and stripey plumage are usually visible and the white trailing edge to the wing should stand out.

Breeds in marshes and boggy areas. Winters on saltmarshes, coastal lagoons and other marshy areas.

Hi Selen,
Wonderful shot of this beautiful bird in its natural surrounding. That really is a long bill and I am amazed at the perfectly camouflaged plumage. It has positioned itself very nicely there. Superb lighting, exposure, reflection and chosen POV. Very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hi Selen.
Very cute natural wild scene. I like how well you have reflected the skill of camouflage and similarity of coloration of bird and dry vegetation. Great crisp sharpness of the image and superb DOF as well as the composition of the picture and exposure level. MY compliments and TFS.
