Spotted
The New Caledonian Snipe is a rare and highly localized snipe species, possibly endemic to New Caledonia. It is a secretive wetland bird, largely unstudied.
Where to spot
Thought to occur in freshwater wetlands and marshy areas of New Caledonia.
How to spot
Extremely difficult to observe. Requires dedicated searches in suitable wetland habitats in New Caledonia, often at low light or by listening for calls.
When to spot
Observations are extremely rare and opportunistic due to its elusive nature and rarity. Likely most active at dawn, dusk, or night.
This snipe is very poorly known, with very few confirmed sightings in recent decades. Its precise habitat requirements and population status are still largely a mystery.
