Very nice wing presentation, Ray. That should be helpful to folks getting started and a refresher for others.

Ray, this is an excellent idea.
Have to say they look exactly like Swedish Woodcock wings though. 8-)

Look pretty much like North American woodcock too, although the European bird is generally larger.

Harry Darby wrote that the American woodcock wing has some good substitute feathers for landrail.
