Acerca de
La agachadiza común (unos 110 g) es famosa por la exhibición nupcial del macho, que produce un sonido vibrante de 'balido' mediante las plumas de la cola extendidas mientras se precipita en picado. Su largo pico, casi tan largo como su cabeza y cuerpo juntos, le permite sondear el fango blando en busca de lombrices e invertebrados. Las franjas crípticas de marrón y canela del plumaje hacen casi imposible detectarla cuando está quieta. Migra a África en invierno.
