Solitary Snipe

Gallinago solitaria

Least Concern

The Solitary Snipe is a shorebird of the Himalayas, Tibetan Plateau, and central Asian mountains. 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.
