Greater Painted-snipe, タマシギ

Funny birds they are, with their white spectacles and braces. Specially the female, which is bigger and more brightly marked than the male. I was quite surprised to find this madam, standing out boldly in the green environment. She withdrew and ducked down right away and was secretive enough to stay put for a long time. However, she did come out of the bush to stretch her wings for a second and take 3 or 4 steps towards the backs before she disappeared again.

First steps

Oops, that was scary...

There is that skinny fellow again.
