Who will clear up mystery of ‘native’ daffodils?

A FEW weeks ago I wrote an article for this page about unusual garden birds and mentioned a photograph sent in by a reader of a snipe feeding on a suburban front lawn.

I thought this was unusual, but apparently it happens more often than I realised.

Since the article appeared, several more people have contacted me with records or pictures of snipe competing with blackbirds for worms on the lawn.
