1. According to the society, water voles, otters, redshank, snipe and lapwing and wetland plants such as marsh orchid and bog pimpernel had declined as a result of over-abstraction and drainage over many years.
2. Fresh pork embellished with egg-yolk, pine cones, raisins, saffron and pepper and baked in pastry; fish tarts; roasted lampreys; mutton, plover, curlew, snipe and pheasant.
3. It forms the primary nesting area for a number of specialised species, particularly Lapwing, Redshank, Snipe, and Yellow Wagtail, and probably Reed and Sedge Warblers.
4. Jack Snipe
5. The combination of drainage and improvement to pasture has greatly reduced the numbers of many characteristic and local species, either breeding, such as Garganey, Snipe, Redshank, and Yellow Wagtail, or wintering, such as Teal, Shoveler, and again Snipe.

7. They include the sage grouse of North America, and the black grouse, ruff and great snipe of northern Europe.
8. Pevensey Levels where 15,000-plus Lapwing, 1,200-plus Snipe, and 2,000-plus Golden Plover have been counted recently is perhaps the prime area, but five-figure flocks of Lapwing are not unusual elsewhere, and every suitable area will attract flocks of several hundred Snipe.
9. In addition the levels hold large winter flocks of Lapwing, Snipe, and Golden Plover.
10. As an example of the value of this habitat a survey of Pevensey Levels in 1976 recorded 52 nesting species and included counts of 27 pairs of Snipe, 29 pairs of Redshank, 74 pairs of Reed Warbler, 196 pairs of Sedge Warbler, 165 pairs of Yellow Wagtail, 118 pairs of Meadow Pipit, and 262 pairs of Reed Bunting; Besides revealing rather more Snipe, Redshank and Yellow Wagtail than previously recorded ( see Systematic List) these counts clearly indicate the value of the marginal vegetation of the ditches for Reed Buntings, Reed and Sedge Warbler.
11. "We are meant to be plucking the bloody snipe"
12. This would deprive wading birds such as curlew and snipe of an ideal breeding sanctuary.
