Remarkably fine birds sometimes exceed this weight by an ounce or more ; the heaviest as yet THE GREAT SNIPE 159 placed on record is one shot at Pickering in North Yorkshire ; this bird scaled 10 oz. , a weight equal to that of some woodcocks. Though never fortunate enough to secure possession of a Great Snipe of my own shooting, I have, nevertheless, met with this bird on some two or three occasions. Once, when partridge shooting in the north of England, my shooting com- panion, the curate of ...the parish, on walking through a field of standing beans, a poor, thin, weed-choked crop, flushed and shot a snipe, which, on examination, proved to be a fine example of the Great Snipe. So far as my recollection serves, this particular bird weighed something over 9 oz. THE COMMON SNIPE. (Scolopax media. } This bird is sometimes called "full" or "single" snipe by sportsmen, the more readily to distinguish it from the Great or " double " snipe already described, as also from the Jack or "half" snipe next to be mentioned.
