The Solitary Snipe is a large, cryptic snipe found in mountainous regions of Asia. It prefers high-altitude bogs and streams, living up to its name by being largely solitary.
Where to spot
High-altitude wetlands, bogs, and stream edges in mountainous regions across Central, East, and Southeast Asia.
How to spot
Requires patient scanning of boggy or muddy edges of mountain streams and wetlands. Its camouflage is superb; look for subtle movements or listen for its harsh alarm call if flushed.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round in its resident montane habitat. Most active during daylight hours, but often very secretive.

This snipe is known for its impressive camouflage, blending perfectly with the rocky and vegetated terrain of its montane habitat, making it incredibly difficult to spot until it flushes.
