Gallinago gallinago

Gallinago gallinago, commonly known as the Common Snipe, is a fascinating bird species found in Croatia.

These slender, long-billed waders are well-adapted to marshes, wet meadows, and boggy areas, where they probe the soft mud for invertebrates like worms and insects. Their cryptic plumage provides excellent camouflage in their habitat, making them quite elusive and challenging to spot.

The presence of Common Snipes in Croatia's wetlands is a testament to the rich biodiversity and natural beauty of these ecosystems. Let's cherish and protect these habitats for the Common Snipe and other wildlife to thrive.
