Snipe; Agachadiza Común

Gallinago gallinago

Description:

I was photographing a Barn Swallow when I looked down to my left and saw this guy in the water a few feet away standing absolutely still. He let me take several photographs before deciding enough was enough and flying away. We had seen him a few times previously in the same place over several days but he had always flown away before I could get a clear shot.

Habitat:

Lagoon near coast in volcanic semi-desert.
