Common Snipe with grub

[gramps]

Managed to get to see some more Common Snipe yesterday, on occasions they came so close that I couldn't get them in the frame with the D500 500 f4 + TC1.4E-ll ... great problem to have!

1. With a grub.

Excellent set, I saw some of these at my local reserve and I was surprised how small they are.

1 and 3 are rather tight in the frame but assume you have not cropped. Excellent detail

They are small aren't they, I also was surprised.

No Stan, these are full in the frame as they were so close for the focal length.
