This Jack Snipe is going to show you its best moves and you BETTER be nice 🫵 Jack Snipes bounce as if they’re on a spring when they feed, giving them a characteristic “groove”. But don’t be fooled by their whimsy, Jack Snipes are pretty shy birds as they crouch down to the ground if approached and use their camouflaged feathers to hide. But if you do spot one, you might see it fly low and rapidly drop down again, unlike other Snipes which zig-zag and then fly off high… #speciesspotlight #jacksn

Even birds can dance! The first part of this video shows a #JackSnipe (Ċinkonja in Maltese) with its typical springy, bouncing movement known as ‘bobbing’. This fascinating behaviour, thought to disturb the small invertebrates that it feeds on (making them easier to find), is a trait commonly seen in Jack Snipes. In this video edit, the Jack Snipe can be clearly seen with its whole body bouncing vertically, as if its legs were springs. The Jack Snipe is about two thirds the size of the #CommonSn

It wouldn’t be Winterwatch without a bobbing jack snipe 😎 No one’s sure exactly why jack snipes perform this behaviour, but it’s thought it must be something to do with flushing out their invertebrate prey from the mud below! This fantastic video was taken by one of our viewers Paul Richards, who said, “I recently managed to video this beautiful little jack snipe which had been hiding away for many hours. I would love to see it bobbing to some appropriate music. Perhaps you have some ideas of w

WWT on Instagram: "Incredible dance moves. 🕺 But these spectacular moves do way more than just look good. Jack snipe use their impressive bills to catch food, and this bobbing motion is thought to draw invertebrates to the surface for a slightly easier meal. #Snipe #Dancing #Birds [Video description: A jack snipe bobs or ‘dances’ across flattened reeds stopping occasionally to dig their bill into the mud.
