Optimum still conditions for detecting Snipe territorial behaviour over last few evenings. Ten drummers in the Llia valley last night (max. 3 together). This evening 10-11 drumming (max 3-4 drummers) over the boggy areas to the south of Crai village and on to the lower slopes of Fan Gyhirych. All from roadsides (A4067 and minor road to Senni) so probably more on the upper slopes
