Some of you aren’t sure what this creature is.

The scientific name is Gallinago gallinago, as far as I can tell: whether this taxonomy is Linnaean, your guess would be as good as mine. The bird is famous for its swerving, dipping, wildly unpredictable flight — hence a marksman who could routinely hit one was called a “sniper”.

Marksmen or not, the cats seem able to catch them. Or at least Bubble is.
