Last days I have been searching for Common Snipes – normally hard to find , but since an area close by is hosting some hundred Snipes right now, finding wasn’t the problem. Without a hide however I guess they are hard to approach, even when you sit behind your camera very still for over 1 hour at a time. Some shots were okay, but not what I had hoped for. The Northern Wheatears on the contrary aren’t that scared of people, and sometimes even slightly curious.
