One of Australia's few regular Japanese migrants. Probes soft ground for invertebrates. Declining due to grassland loss at both ends of migration.

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