About These Birds
Common Sandpiper
Common Sandpiper: 19–21 cm, small olive-brown sandpiper with bold white wingbar, horizontal bobbing walk, and stiff-winged shimmering flight low over water. Breeds along stony rivers and lake margins across Eurasia; winters in Africa, South Asia, and Australasia. Feeds on invertebrates. Long-distance migrant. Very widespread.
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.
