Subspecies: gallinago
Adult playing above sydtårn. Incredible detail that the outer tail feather can be expanded outward and be used as drum sticks creating the drumming sound when the bird dives towards the ground from high above.

Subspecies: ?
Pretty unique in Denmark and very common during migration, less so as a breeder. Not separable from Wilson's Snipe in a photo like this, other than by geography and probability.


Happy Birding
