African Snipe
Gallinago nigripennis
Least ConcernThe African Snipe is a shorebird of sub-Saharan African coasts, wetlands, savannas, and dry country. It uses its bill, legs, and alert flight to feed on invertebrates, seeds, or small aquatic prey along coasts, mudflats, rivers, lakes, grasslands, or open ground; many shorebirds make impressive seasonal movements between breeding and non-breeding areas.
