Yesterday, I watched two very different wading birds: a heron and a snipe.
The heron flew overhead and I managed a picture.
The snipe flushed only a metre from my feet and vanished before I could even point the camera. Fortunately, Derek Kite took some pictures of the same snipe a couple of days earlier and has allowed me to show his.
