Snipes are really extraordinary 👍 Thanks a lot for sharing this wonderful high quality footage, it was a great delight to watch! Keep it up. Best wishes
Amazing footage I can only imagine how much hard work went into capturing this stunning footage ,I’m stunned how close you got, in my area your lucky if you can get closer than 30meters before they zip off flying and calling and they hide so well. Thanks for sharing this great video.
Such a beautiful sound and sight, thankyou. I've only seen images of this bird in photographs iit was very good to see it in a real life setting and hear it's quiet song. Lesley xx
Wielki bekacz is still thriving in the Narew valley in Poland (among other places). I find it interesting that its habitat depends on the presence of traditional agriculture and grazing of cattle and horses. Of course the future of this agriculture is as threatened as the bird...
These birds' lekking calls sound very familiar, like dolphin whistles and clicks. Nature is somewhat similar in something. The ways of similarities come up.
These Snipes are very beautiful and vocal. Had to laugh when I seen them. My Dad's bright ideal. Was to take I and my brother. And the rest of the neighborhood kids. On a snipe hunting episode. We all had to have a flashlight. And a brown paper sack. Dad and Mom took us in the woods. To look for Snipes. If we found one it was . To go into the paper sack. My Dad let out a panther scream. Scared the you-know-what out of us. We were back to the car .Before my parents even thought about arriving.
C'est sont des créatures que DIEU a créé et nous aussi nous sommes ses créatures. En l'acceptent il ouvre le chemin du ciel pour nous. Car il est le chemin la vérité et la vie.
A little help: Doppelschnepfe in German. Means: for fucking hunters these birds had a double value compared to the Common Snipe. In Germany this species is extirpated since years, caused by habitat loss. Belarus must still be a true paradise!
