Snipe Preening

I strive to take images that are a little different , they may not be commercial , or to every body's taste , but behavior is what really interests me.

Here a Snipe having a preen in front of the East Marsh at Brandon, again its a reach for the equipment on a small wader , so my experimental approach with the 2.0x plus 500mm continues. It leads to a lot of failures , but then to some captures that would be other wise not possible.

My advice is to push the equipment you have to the limit, when you have to , you may sometimes be pleasantly surprised by the results.
