Otmoor Snipe drumming (c) P.Barkermore at http://www.surfbirds.com/blog/OtmoorBirding
Male Snipe have a drumming display in which they circle high
on rapid, clipped wingbeats then dive at a steep angle with
outer tail feathers held out at almost a right angle to
the body; air rushing over these feathers make the characteristic
drumming sound.
