Identifying Common Snipe and Jack Snipe

A stocky brown bird rockets up from just in front of your feet, but is it a Common Snipe, or its rarer relative Jack Snipe? Let us help you tell the two apart.

BTO bird identification videos are supported by Natureguides

Natureguides kindly provide species video clips for our bird identification videos.
