Observation details

flushed a wader off a bore while spotlighting that I thought was a painted snipe, but I couldn't be sure as it was so quick. We decided to loop back to the bore, and lo and behold a male painted snipe sitting there, that allowed excellent views in the car headlights / spotlights, and some photos
