The Noble Snipe is a medium-sized wader endemic to the high Andes, characterized by its mottled brown plumage. It is typically elusive, blending into its montane wetland environments.
Where to spot
Endemic to the northern Andes, found in Colombia, Ecuador, and Venezuela, typically inhabiting montane wetlands, páramo, and wet grasslands at high altitudes.
How to spot
Scan marshy edges and wet pastures. Patience is crucial due to its excellent camouflage. Listen for the characteristic 'drumming' sounds produced during its courtship displays.
When to spot
Best observed during the breeding season when males perform vocal display flights, which varies by local wet seasons. Otherwise, active during dawn and dusk.
