Request for help-Snipe ID

G’day Andrew

Photos turned out great! I’ve attached a couple of the best ones I’ve got.

I have been gliding through the guides as to a bit more of a clue on the ID of the Snipe and found something which related to a quick observation we noticed when it flew a short distance.

Jim Flegg Photographic Guide,: “In flight the toes project beyond the tail tip (difficult to see but gives impression of a pointed tail)”

I think that’s just a little reinforcement for me, because I eluded to the suggestion that I saw a ‘pin’.

Other than that, the reference to a buff flecking has also been found which is shown in a couple of your great images.

Regards

Mick
