馃 Swinhoe's snipe, Gallinago megala, also known as forest snipe or Chinese snipe

馃摎 Gallinago lat .: gallina chicken , -ago similar, similar; gallinago snipe; woodcock (Turner, 1544)
馃摎 megala (Greek) large

One day at the beginning of spring I was walking through the forest, there were many birds, the forest was filled with bird voices. Suddenly, a bird flew over me in the sky and uttered not very pleasant sounds, which can be described as chirring or buzzing.

I recognized this voice immediately. The bird is invisible. Just admire her on the ground. Purely by chance I saw her.
But on that day, this male demonstrated himself (courtship display) so he was not on the ground, but sat on a fallen tree.

This is a very, very shy bird, so I crept up to him very carefully so as not to frighten him away.
