Hi Guys,
Had planned to go to Belgium today to get some shots of Short-eared Owls, but unfortunately that trip got cancelled...
So trying to make the best of things i went to my favourite nature reserve just around the corner of my home and searched for some Snipes wich i had seen earlier this month. The funny thing is that their camouflage is so darn good that they can not be seen with just your eyes and you need a big lens just to spot them. So when i was taking these pictures there where some people looking at me as if i was crazy taking pictures of these dry reed-stems....:D
Greetings,
Jeroen Stel
