Enkelbeckasin - Gallinago gallinago - Common Snipe
© NF Photo 140602, Iceland
This seemed to be a common bird in Iceland. At least in the southern part of the island. I could easily get used to hearing its sound in the sky. You hear them long before you see them. To bad I found no video that had teh sound.

Fantastic series of shots.
ReplyDeleteWow....so camouflaged and beautiful flight images.
ReplyDeleteVackra fåglar. De är inte lätta att upptäcka om de sitter stilla.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, a fun find
ReplyDeleteGrea series of shots. Great to get the flight shots as well
ReplyDeleteGreat sighting and photos of the Snipe! They are hard birds for me to find. Have a happy week!
ReplyDeletelovely post, and very typical behaviour shots.
ReplyDeleteOK, so in Iceland I can accept invitations to snipe hunt. As long as we're only shooting photographs, that is. Very nice photos!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen one in flight! Awesome shots!
