shots of the underwing would be useful but the contrasting appearance does look quite good...

Hi Josh. Thank´s for your comment, sadly the underwing and tail were not seen i field, hopfully it can be found again so it can be safly identyfied. It would be the first ever for the Faeroe. There has been a comment that it´s bill perhaps looks to long, but since i have very litle eksperiance with Snipes i really couldent say.

The bird was present to day at the same spot. It was flushed along with 3 common snipes. They circled around my head a few times and there was a good opertunity to compare and contrast them. This one reminded me of jack snipe when flushed. It was very contrasting black/white. The underwing was uniformely dark with a a slight contrast between underving coverts and primaries/secondaries. There was no visible white edge on back of the wing. The call sounded somewhat more hoarse than that of common snipe.

We might even have to count the tail feathers - 16 in Wilson´s - 14 in Common and the width of the outers, narrower in Wilson´s However, the underwing description and the looks of it, dark appearance, dark greater coverts might indicate Wilson´s, but we are in for a struggle with no end with these pic. since overlap in almost every feature, except the tail feathers and shape of them. Some good images of the underwing pattern and tips of the secondaries is highly recommended according to some. If I remember right, the Scilly Wilson´s - 9.10 1998 - 7.5 1999 was clinched with some photos showing the outer t-feathers http://www.birdingworld.co.uk/images/WilsonsSnipeID.pdf JanJ

Hi Jan Well, I didn't see the tail to day and I didn't succed in getting pics in flight. My primary focus was to see the bird and afterwards get some pics - which proved to be to late. Well, the bird is very different from anything I've seen up here. I've seen wilson's in Florida, and this bird matches quite good. But the fate of this bird depends in deed on getting good pics of the tail and underwings. Attempts will surely be made!

Hi Jan Yes, I've seen both the articles from birdingworld and the BOURC-article. It seems like photos are crucial to correct identification. The snipe collection at the danish zoological museum and lot's of photos have been checked and none of these birds matches the bird at Eiði. Eventhough there is some variation in the common snipes we see up here (both the common breeder Ssp. faeroeensis and the vagrant Ssp. gallinago) no bird we have come across matches the bird at Eiði. Well, we will try to get the pics, which can confirm the id. It will be sent to the danish rarity commity even if further evidence cannot be established. In searching for the snipe I came across a harlequin duck just 300 m away from the snipe-spot. Nice! SiO

jeg mener at det er en mørk "type" af den færøske dobbeltbekkasin. Jeg har gransket flere billieder af wilsons snipe og dobbeltbekkasin og biliedet af denne bekkasin.
