back home I visited the Sale Wetlands and I tried to get a picture of a Latham's Snipe - Gallinago hardwickii. They are such alert birds that it is hard to get close enough, but this shot was quite pleasing. Looking at the picture was a real surprise! I was focussing my attention on the snipe and hadn't realised that the quite uncommon duck, the Freckled Duck - Stictonetta naevosa was also in the picture. It is not often that you photograph a difficult bird by accident! Here are Snipe and Duck together
