What a gloriously coloured bird Tusar. Probably the prettiest Snipe there is.

Is this the female? (My memory if correct, tells me the females are brighter coloured than the males and have reddish heads...)

Wonderful sighting and capture!
Make your life spectacular!

Beautiful !! You only get to see the patterns on the wings when it's flying. Great shot, superb picture.
