So where exactly are these Snipe, Dave?

Hi Neil
I Think It's Opposite The Wolseley Plumbing Centre,I Don't Know The Name Of The Road, But It Comes On Preston Road Near The Seaview Pub.

Is it the flat gravel area on the same side of the road?

[Dave Beevers]

It is the area of waste land behind Runshaw College and the railway line.same side of road as Wolseley but at Euxton end--at roundabout at Barrats new builds turn down towards factorys and park on right in small parking bay.
you will need to wander across the waste land which is riddled with pools of various sizes--boots definitely recommended.
the birds are spread across the whole area right up to where the old house is being renovated.
