Reading through the report for 2017, I noticed that Common Snipe is listed as a winter visitor only, yet Wryneck and Green woodpecker are listed as "Passage migrant, has bred" and "Former breeding resident" respectively. Yet I clearly remember hearing Snipe drumming during the late 1960's and early 1970's over Castlebythe common along with numerous Curlews which at that time were breeding over most of the surrounding area.
In the light of this, I wondered if Snipe had ever been recorded as a breeding bird in pembs?
