dotterel wading in stream

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #LandMeetsWater
Just took this one today of a #NewZealand #dotterel on Waiheke Island.

#Charadriinae which includes the #lapwing, #dotterel and #plover. According to #Kivi, the street was named after the bird often seen on the former city commons and should have been #Kiivitaja. Why a relatively obscure dialect term was chosen is unclear. The word also translates as
3/4

My #least captured bird is a #Dotterel, seen once in May this year in #Brecon #Wales

Day 11 — Oriental Dotterel

Experimenting again with watercolor and colored pencils. Straying from the comfort zone.

Dotterel at Burbage Moor today. Despite the weather it was very obliging. Very different from my recent Norfolk experience. Lovely plump bird. #birds #dotterel @s-yorksbirding.bsky.social

If at first you don’t succeed, go back to Norfolk. Dotterel, lifer, on my 3rd attempt this year, having missed them at South Gare and Norfolk yesterday. Strong winds & distant. ‘Record shot’ frame from digiscoped video. #250 of the year. #dotterel #norfolkbirding #birds

black-fronted dotterel

Does anyone else think black-fronted dotterels (Charadrius melanops) look a bit sneaky? Tauherenikau Delta, Featherston.

Simply a joy seeing a #dotterel at such close quarters today (18May) just off the path at Carnethy Hill @birdinglothian.bsky.social

First birding day of the summer 😄 !!

& a trek up onto a cairn on the Merthyr/Beacons border to see my first ever Eurasian Dotterel, a very uncommon visitor these days to Wales, absolute joy to watch, they stole my heart a little bit !

2nd time lucky, a two hour wait and the male Dotterel appeared from nowhere. Always distant and a heat haze to contend with, however a great bird to see on migration! #NEbirding #northumberland #dotterel

My first ever photographs of Dotterel. #wildlife #birds #dotterel

A bit of video of the #Dotterel at Ferrybridge, Dorset today. It was cold and blowy, but we got fabulous views of this rare visitor. I'd never seen one before, so I was well chuffed! #Dorsetbirds

##ukbirding @RSPBFrampton #bairdssandpiper #curlewsandpiper #wheatear wet morning on the east coast. Bairds was a welcome sight, then a fleeting view of the juvenile Temms Stint. Waders of all shapes and sizes. Then a hop to South Anston for head only views of my 2nd migrating #dotterel #birds
