Field Notes

Description:

Small stint with a rather 'dumpy' horizontal stance. Upper parts are mottled browns and black without rusty tones of other stints. Underparts are white with a light brown, lightly streaked breast bib.Legs are yellowish and bill is relatively short and slightly curved down.

Habitat:

This pair and new hatched young were found in a wetland area just south of Anadyr town in far eastern Russia.

Notes:

I was walking down a gravel road and the whole family crossed the road in front of me. I have included a photo of one of the youngsters. It was about the size of a large bumblebee!

Thank you Polilla. The chick photo was very special. There were 4 of them and absolutely tiny. Only a day old or so. Like I said in the notes they weren't much bigger than a big fluffy bumblebee! :)
