Eudromias morinellus (Eurasian Dotterel)

English: Eurasian Dotterel, Common Dotterel
Russian: Хрустан
Mongolian: Урианхайн цагаанхиазат, Урианхайн сүвээ цагаан
German: Mornellregenpfeifer
French: Pluvier guignard
Japanese: コバシチドリ (Kobashi-chidori)

Body length: 20-24 cm

Breeds high in mountain areas with low cover and scree, often preferring partly flat areas; also on open tundra. Occurs northerly breeding sites mostly mid Jun- mid Aug. Rare on migration, often singles or in small groups on arable or short-grass fields. Foot insects. Nest is bare scrape. ♂ does most of incubation and care of young. Some ♂♂ are extremely tame just before eggs hatch.

Identification: Somewhat smaller than Golden Plover, and is slightly more compact, with shorter neck and wings and proportionately larger head with smaller bill. In all plumages, has long white or ochrous-buff supercilium and plain upperwing with narrow pale leading edge (white shaft to outermost primary).

  • Adult summer: Combination of orange-rusty breast, black and white breast-band and well-marked white supercilium contrasting with dark, hindcrown makes it unmistakable; as with phalaropes, ♀ is brighter-coloured, smarter than ♂.
  • Adult ♀ winter: Greyish breast and flanks tinged buff, with faint whitish breast-band, and upperpart feathers and larger wing-coverts blackish-brown with neat-creamy-buff fringes broken at tip by black central streak; underparts have on average more obvious dark mottling on breast and upper flanks.
  • 1st winter: Told by retained juvenile wing-coverts.
