1st Ishigaki Snipe Camp — Day 2

Pin-tailed Snipe
Pin-tailed Snipe

Same individual as above. It was on alert because a Common Moorhen had approached, and it spread its tail right out for me. The outer tail feathers of Pin-tailed Snipe are only visible when spread this wide. When they're not visible during normal preening, that's the kind of thing that makes you think 'possible Pin-tailed'… ^^;
