212 THE liEST SN/FE SHOOT J. \G h\ THE WOh'LD. 



S.S.E. Commenced shooting at nine, rested half 

 an hour soon after mid-day ; went to slough to 

 wait for ducks and geese at sunset. 147 snipe, 

 II duck (various), 2 curlews {Numenius arquatus), 

 2 geese {A?iser canadensis). 



Now, will the reader say, after reading the above 

 score, that I have adopted too ambitious a title in my 

 heading, " The best snipe shooting in the world " ?
