These gamebirds, along with others such as the partridge, woodcock and snipe, have long been prized by humans.

It is now a regular feeding site for snipe and I have seen woodcock there.

There are English partridge on the farm as well as the odd snipe and woodcock, but I don't shoot those.

With grouse done and dusted and snipe and woodcock shortly off the menu, there's still a good month until the end of the season for partridge and pheasant.
From the independent.co.uk
Snipe measure 10-12 inches long and, at 3.5 ounces, weigh about half that of woodcock.
