    You are probably wondering why I posted such a messy image, it is quite deliberate in order to show the camouflage attributes of the Jack Snipe. I will be posting a clearer image later.

    From that perspective Jon, it certainly does, you almost need a big arrow!!!!

    The bird is master at hiding out in the open. This image shows the camouflage off very well.
