The shallow water of the Lake Neusiedler is a perfect place for snipes and other waterbirds. They have enough places to hide in the reed and this is why they are pretty difficult to spot. I was lucky to find it at a place with very less vegetation, so it couldn't hide so well. Since it is a very seldom bird, till now I only had one chance to take some pictures of it. On my several photography trips I already took so many pictures of different birds but some of them are very difficult to find because either they are very shy or only live on special places or just visit Austria for a very short stop to fly north or south the next days. ![DSC_9275.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/florian-glechner/23xp47eG4iHEc7dMnA38kU8wQXTJwCXmpde1zmC1dqHW6wvz7qyxENKaHPyxXEQytJm1X.jpg) *Black-tailed godwit.

I really need to make an Index for birds I already photographed and birds that I still miss, so I can concentrate more on the seldom ones that I still miss. ![DSC_9285.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/florian-glechner/23tSeuuDf9Py9gdYHpYcrasg7DCLmeFKPjDsopyGHQV5f6AkZoNHS7WofzE3cDjMsSie6.jpg) *In the high grass at lake or river shores this bird feels most comfortable.
