Red-necked Stint Calidris ruficollis

The Red-necked Stint breeds across the high arctic regions of Siberian Russia, ranging from the Taimyr Peninsula west across northern Siberia to the Chukotsky Peninsula. In North America, the breeding range of this species is limited to northern and Western Alaska, particularly along the coastlines of the Seward Peninsula and the coastal regions around Point Barrow. The Red-necked Stint winters widely throughout Southeast Asia, occurring from southern China and Myanmar west through Malaysia, Indonesia, coastal New Guinea, and Australia to New Zealand. The primary migration routes used in spring and fall bring large numbers of this species to Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and the Philippines. Away from their limited breeding range, Red-necked Stints in North America are regular as migrants only in the Aleutian Islands and through the Bering Sea of Alaska. Vagrants have been recorded along both coasts of North America, as well as in Hawaii, South America, Europe and South Africa . There are 18 confirmed records for British Columbia, all from coastal regions, with 12 coming from the lower Fraser River Valley.

Hello Fatih,
Fine shot of juvenile Red-necked Stint.
This is sharp and well composed. I last saw one of these in Australia. They are very rare in Sweden.
TFS, cheers, Ivan

very nice pose, looks like a ballarina. good reflections and water ripple. should lighten the bird a tad and sharpen.

Hi Fatih,
A good image in terms of colours, reflections, compo...
A bit puzzled about focus, DOF...
Overall well done
TFS
