red-necked stint

  1. Little and Large

    Little and Large

    A Ruddy Turnstone wandered across in front of us accompanied by a Red-necked Stint... would never have thought there was such a size difference as I hadn't ever considered a turnstone to be a large bird LOL. And although I'd only recently been introduced to these stints, I didn't think of them...

    Less easy

    .... to photograph, as not only small, they're pretty well camouflaged and can move fast!! Cute wee waders though, aren't they.

    Long distances

    Not quite so easy to pick out were a group of Red-necked Stints. These are long distance migrants, as they breed in the arctic, in north-eastern Siberia, and here they were in the south of Australia!!

    Red-neck

    The tide was well out when we got to the hide overlooking the Princess Royal Harbour... but at least we were stretching our legs! Out on the mud (where else do you find these?) were a few Red-necked Stints. Another strange coincidence, I'd seen these on my first day birding in Brisbane with...

  8. Doing what...

    Doing what...

    ... Stints do. Messing about in mud! We were making our way back along the beach and Ken spotted a wee group of Red-necked Stints for me; they're so small and well-camouflaged in the mud I don't think I'd have seen them. A bit distant but I didn't want to move any closer to them.

    Seems a long wait until September for the Waders to return, only the over wintering birds left now .

    Love it when a few turn up in breeding colours and so much prettier . Many of the Waders have already left the area.
