A bird of the family Scolopacidae (illustration) in the order Charadriiformes. Total length is about 35 cm. It breeds in the mid-latitudes of the Eurasian continent and migrates to southern Europe, North Africa, and southern Asia. In Japan, it breeds on Honshu, Hokkaido, and the Izu Islands, and those in the northern regions migrate to warmer areas in winter. It has a very stocky body and a straight, long beak. Its feathers have complex markings of brown, gray, and black all over. During the breeding season, it lives in dense broadleaf forests and mixed coniferous and broadleaf forests from the plains to the low mountain zones, and males fly around in the evenings with irregular wing movements while making chirping sounds of "chiki-chiki" and "woo-woo."
