Brown hare and Common Snipe gaining speed

Finally over the last days there has been some activity in the area.

The latter were abundant, but hiding most of the time, only by the end of the day they showed themselves. Without a camouflaged shelter however, they can not really be approached – alert as they are by nature. While lying motionless in a wet field, a White Wagtail was hopping around me, however most of the time too close to focus :~( …..

  1. Hallo Hans,

    Je eerste foto had ik al op BP gezien. Prachtige foto van uniek moment. De WKS is een echte voltreffer!!!

    Kleine Plevier zou ik ook nog weleens zo willen vastleggen.
