Very interesting!
I may have it slightly wrong, but I believe we call the snipe bleating sound "mean gabhar", pronounced "man-gow-er". Gabhar means "goat", I think? Not sure Joe, My Grandfather used to call them the bog goat. I've never heard of them here being called by their Irish name which is a shame. Maybe I should start.

Keith is right when he says that the "taking off" sound is "scaaip" (I use to call it "scaaip call"). However you're right in supposing they make different sounds, there are differences and according to that, the AOU and later the BOU recognised G.gallinago and G.delicata different species. But the differences are in their bleating sound, during the mating season, not in the sound they produce when flushed.

I always thought the noise of the departing Snipe was a 'scaaip' sound although it doesn't really do it justice. The goat sound is the sound made by the mating snipe. He rollercoasters up and down in the air with the outer two tail feathers spread out to the side. The noise is made by the air passing over them. I really think this sounds like a young goat or kid bleating. It's a magical sound here in the late spring evenings.

I wonder, based on all the European and British references to goats, if the snipe on that side of the Atlantic makes a louder or different noise than the Common Snipe. Our version of this bird (Gallinago gallinago) on the Western side of the Atlantic makes a noise when it takes flight, but I would describe it as sounding a bit like a high pitched, "snight" and it is not very loud. Or maybe European and British goats are more polite and are... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (LoboYZorro) http://thesnipehuntersforum.yuku.com/sreply/17113 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 00:09:27 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Searching for Snipe ]]> http://thesnipehuntersforum.yuku.com/reply/17042/t/Searching-for-Snipe.html#reply-17042

That's interesting let me had some of the popular names I know from Portugal:
- Narceja (hunters don't use Narceja comum which means common snipe)
- Garceja
- Arregacha
In North Portugal, where they breed, because their bleat they are known as:
- Cabra do monte (Goat of the "hills")
- Cabra do ar (Goat of the air)
- Cabra velha (Old Goat)
- Passaro Cabra (Goat Bird)
- Berra

I like the dutch one, watersnip. I think the English language derived from dutch/flemish. I looked up the Irish one but could only find Irish setters named after my favourite bird.
