About These Birds
Latham's Snipe
Latham's Snipe: 29–33 cm, large robustly built Japanese snipe that breeds in wet grassland and marshes of central Honshu; migrates to wet grassland and irrigated paddocks of eastern Australia. NT. One of Australia's few regular Japanese migrants. Probes soft ground for invertebrates. Declining due to grassland loss at both ends of migration.
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.
