Hello All,
Yes I think the first record of this Snipe is quite remarkable.....In my youth during the early sixties,I was a keen shooter of Quail and used to be friends with a group of Braidwood shooters one of whom took me to shoot Snipe....He opined with a wealth of practical folklore to support him that Snipe generally arrived with the first full moon in October....since then I have seen the odd one in September,but August is very early indeed...Terry Gourlay.
