Title: Common Snipe
Post by Neil on Jan 28^th, 2006, 12:19am

I was walking down the road leaving Mai Po , towards Castle Peak Rd, last evening around sundown when I saw this snipe have a bath in one of the fish ponds.  As I stopped it moved into this hole in the ground and sat waiting for me to move on.  I got a few photos even though I couldn't see it very well without the binoculars.

Now if you had gone by car Neil, you would have missed it.

Nice capture
