Same individual as above. With Swinhoe's Snipe you usually can't see the outer tail feathers, which is what gives it that Swinhoe's feel — but on this individual I could just about make them out. After bathing, I fired off more than 700 frames in 2 minutes 30 seconds to get this shot. The tail feathers are visible like this, you can see.
