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

Thanks Bill. I plan to post more pics, in hopes they will be a useful reference.

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

Oops.

Good point Stefan.

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.
