- Let me introduce myself, my name is Richard S. Hogg and I've been working in the Photography and Printing Industry for over 25 years. I hope you will enjoy my images, share my passion for nature photography, and nature's beauty. I have been working hard to photograph different species of wildlife and discovering new locations to photograph. If you enjoy viewing Avian, Macro, Scenic, or Underwater images you've come the the right place.
Isn't this more likely to be a Wilson's Snipe? The common Gallingo in North America was formerly considered a subspecies of the Common Snipe. It was then split and renamed Wilson's Snipe, with the name Common Snipe retained for its congener from Europe.
