About These Birds
Red Knot
Red Knot: 23–26 cm, robust sandpiper with brick-red breeding plumage; one of the most remarkable long-distance migrants, travelling up to 15,000 km between Arctic breeding grounds and South American or Australian wintering shores. NT. Threatened by horseshoe crab egg depletion at Delaware Bay staging sites. Key refuelling stops critical.
African Snipe
African Snipe: 25–28 cm, medium-large snipe resident in high-altitude wetlands, bogs, and marshy grassland of eastern and southern Africa from Ethiopia and Sudan to the Cape. Cryptic brown-and-buff streaking. Probes soft mud for invertebrates. Sedentary. Performs display 'drumming' flights with spread tail in breeding season.
