This first year Common Snipe was trapped and ringed at Foxglove on 8 Aug, the last day of the 2009 ringing course.
Although the species is seen almost daily on the reserve it is only the second one ever to be ringed the previous one being caught on 8 Feb 1996. It was a welcome addition to the list of birds seen in the hand during the weekend.
