BROM TG (1981) Sabines Snipe in the Netherlands. LIMOSA 54 (2): 66-66.
A specimen of "Sabine's Snipe", a very dark and differently
patterned variant of the Snipe Gallinago gallinago,
was collected in Friesland (Netherlands) in september
1916, but this record has not hitherto been published.
Attention is paid to the fact that most records
of this snipe date from before 1920, and that since then
this variant has not been recorded anywhere.
