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.
Solitary Snipe
Solitary Snipe: 29–31 cm, large heavily streaked snipe of rocky alpine and subalpine streams and boggy ground from Afghanistan and Pakistan east through the Himalayas to Japan. Largely solitary as name suggests. Winters at lower elevations and wetlands of South and Southeast Asia. Probes soft mud for worms and invertebrates. Altitudinal migrant.
