Snipe and woodcock

Woodcock capital of Europe

Co Kerry in Ireland is the world’s ultimate woodcock destination. Some stop off and over-winter elsewhere on the way. A lot make it – and Joe O’Dwyer and Sion Brain are waiting for them. They run an outfitter called The Hunter & The Chef, which specialises in woodcock shooting over their own English setters, over their guests’ pointers, and – using their cookery skills – woodcock eating.
