Greater Painted Snipe at Totonnyane Sewerage Works diggings

It was after several attempts to get the picture of this  pair of shy and skulking Greater Painted Snipes; that I thought I had run out of luck. 

A glimpse of these beautiful birds had me coming again and again to the very same spot. The good rains had created several water ponds in the area.

Initially I spotted them through my binoculars and thereafter could not see them out in the open again. 

Today my patience paid out.
