Jack Snipe

Hi,
I was ringing at my nature reserve on Sunday and was lucky enough to net both snipe and jack snipe.
Photos are a bit cheating as both birds were in the hand but i am pleased with the shots due to the bad light (night time).

See the two in comparison

Thanks,

That last shot is great for comparison.

Very nice even if they are in the hand - don't suppose you could add a woodcock as well for comparision?

 

[Luke_Herts]

Cheers... no woodcock sorry maybe next time.

[Luke_Herts]
