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

Cryptic brown-and-buff streaking. Probes soft mud for invertebrates. Sedentary. Performs display 'drumming' flights with spread tail in breeding season.
