African Snipe - Gallinago nigripennis
Bécassine africaine
This common resident species lives in marshes, flooded grasslands and muddy areas with short vegetation. It seeks insects and worms by pushing its long bill into the mud. Ce résident commun vit dans les marais et les prairies inondées, et dans la vase avec de la végétation courte. Il cherche des insectes et des vers en poussant son bec dans la vase.
