Greetings

I'm on the lookout for a more recent estimate of the estimated global population size for Latham's Snipe (Gallinago hardwickii) that the one in common usage (Naarding 1986 cited in Watkins 1993, Garnett & Crowley 2000, and HANZAB) - ie. about 36,000 - 37,000 birds (c. 15,000 breeding birds).  

The reason for this is so I can put a rather large concentration of LS that I came across last week in a significance context.

All suggestions/clues welcomed.

Thanks in advance

Lawrie
