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.
Pin-tailed Snipe
Pin-tailed Snipe: 25–27 cm, medium snipe with very narrow outer tail feathers (hence 'pin-tailed') and buffy wingbar. Breeds on Siberian wet meadow and boggy tundra; migrates to winter on marshes and rice paddies of South and Southeast Asia. Probes soft mud for invertebrates. Long-distance migrant. Difficult to distinguish from Swinhoe's in field.
