Subantarctic Snipe

Coenocorypha aucklandica

Least Concern

The Subantarctic Snipe is a shorebird of New Zealand's subantarctic islands. 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.
