Breeding in Mongolia and parts of China and Russia, this bird migrates to winter in many parts of South-east Asia, as far as northern Australia. However, identifying one in wintering areas is another
matter, and Pintail Snipe, in particular, is almost identical. Common and Latham's can also enter the mix in some areas, hopefully Wilson's can be safely excluded on range!
