Observation details

snipe flushed at close distance in Far Boneyard, flew low and very short distance on first flush and then flew farther and higher on second flush, always from dry ground, although bird flew high it circled back around, we were not able to flush it a third time the bird called once, not particularly sharp like Common/Wilson's but also not particularly wheezy (fairly short and quiet call) the bird was very buffy overall and had no white trailing edge to secondaries photos obtained in flight showed Wilson's Snipe like underwing pattern, complete lack of trailing edge, toes projecting well beyond tail and overall buffy appearance with buffy panel in upperwing photos of a bird taken the previous day in the same area on the ground also show a Pin-tailed Snipe, photos to be added here soon Photo courtesy of Johannes Ferdinand
