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
