Posted super Latham's Snipe (Gallinago hardwickii) images earlier in year, but today's presented greater challenge, being totally open walk-up rather than drive-by.
It's satisfying having a wary bird accept - even if nervily - intrusion into its space.
In this case, bird chose to walk off and get on with feeding, in Tyto yesterday. Click pix to enlarge

Brilliant photos and walking - or stalking? - close to the bird.
Thanks Mick: With dry season breaking yesterday the feeding area will now be under water and birds will shift :-(
Amazing it let you so close, Tony.
Normally they like to skulk, half-hidden in rushes and reeds.
Great images.
