About These Birds
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.
Eurasian Woodcock
Eurasian Woodcock: 33–38 cm, plump woodland wader with cryptic dead-leaf plumage, large eyes set high for near-360° vision, and long bill for probing earthworms. Breeds in damp broadleaved woodland across Eurasia; northern populations migrate to milder Atlantic and Mediterranean regions in winter. Crepuscular. Long-distance migrant.
