February 2025 Snipe Flush Count

On Monday 3 February the survey was carried out in the usual four fields. The results were:

  • Big Meadow: 15 Common Snipe and 5 Jack Snipe
  • School Pond: 24 Common Snipe
  • Hay Meadow: 5 Common Snipe
  • Upper Sowerholme: 2 Common Snipe and 1 Woodcock.

So a total of 46 Common Snipe and 5 Jack Snipe.

We also saw a kestrel hovering over Big Meadow, probably hunting voles.
