A shorebird survey was conducted from 7-13 December 2011 at Rawa Bento, an upland swamp (c. 1400 m) in Kerinci Seblat National Park, Sumatra, Indonesia. One Greater Painted Snipe (Rostratula benghalensis), 38 Wood Sandpiper (Tringa glareola), and 15 Common Sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos) were recorded. In addition, observations of more than 45 Snipe (Gallinago spp.) was the most interesting record and warrants further investigation. These records suggest that Rawa Bento may be an important upland swamp in Sumatra for shorebirds and should be subject to further monitoring. © AWSG.
