About These Birds

Swinhoe's Snipe

Swinhoe's Snipe: 27–29 cm, very similar to Pin-tailed Snipe; best separated by call and number of tail feathers. Breeds on wet meadows and taiga bogs of Siberia and northern China; winters in South and Southeast Asia to Australia. Probes soft mud for invertebrates. Long-distance migrant. Secretive in rank grass and marshes.

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.
