The Undulated Snipe is a large, cryptically plumaged wader found in South America. Known for its elusive nature, it blends seamlessly into its preferred wet grassland habitats.
Where to spot
Found in central and eastern South America, typically inhabiting wet grasslands, marshes, and damp savannas, often at higher elevations.
How to spot
Look for its long bill probing in muddy ground, though its camouflage makes it very hard to spot when still. Listen intently for its distinctive drumming sound or short, harsh calls, especially during display flights.
When to spot
Most active at dawn and dusk. Best chances for observing display flights are during the local breeding season, which often correlates with the wet season.

Like many snipe species, the Undulated Snipe produces a distinctive 'drumming' sound with its tail feathers during its aerial courtship displays.
