Ecology

Ecology (Behaviour)

The majority of this species is fully migratory1, 5 and travels either on a broad or narrow front depending on the location of each population's breeding and wintering grounds1. The species starts to breed from April until June, nesting in solitary pairs or loose semi-colonial groups (especially in undisturbed areas)1. It is a gregarious species2 and often roosts communally in flocks of several hundred close to its feeding areas1, 2, occurring singly, in small (up to 50 individuals) or large flocks (up to 1,200-1,500 individuals) during the non-breeding season4.

Birdlife International

Habitat

<Breeding> The species breeds primarily on sand or shingle beaches either along the Arctic coast1, 2, 6 or around coastal tundra pools or lakes3. In the south of its range it may also breed inland on the Arctic tundra1, 2 on muddy plains with stones or pebbles3, on shores and sandbars of inland rivers, lakes, gravel pits or reservoirs1, 2, 6, or on short grassland, farmland1, 6 and other well-drained sites6.
<Non-breeding> Outside of the breeding season the species inhabits muddy, sandy or pebbly coasts in the tropics and subtropics3 including estuaries1, tidal mudflats, sandflats and exposed coral reefs4. It also frequents mudbanks or sandbanks along rivers and lakes4, lagoons, saltmarshes, short grassland, farmland, flooded fields, gravel pits, reservoirs1, sewage works and saltpans during this season5.

Birdlife International

Diet

ts diet consists of small crustaceans, molluscs, polycheate worms, isopods, amphipods, insects (e.g. ants, beetles, flies and fly larvae) and millipedes1.

Birdlife International

Breeding Site

The nest is a shallow scrape1 positioned near the high-water mark on shingle or sandy beaches2, 3. The species is a solitary nester although it may breed at quite high densities in undisturbed areas, neighbouring nests spaced between 5 and 100 m apart1.

Status

International Status

IUCN Red List Category

LC

Justification

This species has an extremely large range, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). Despite the fact that the population trend appears to be decreasing, the decline is not believed to be sufficiently rapid to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size is very large, and hence does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
<Trend justification> The overall population trend is decreasing, although some populations have unknown trends (Wetlands International 2006).

Management

Threat

Important migratory stop-over habitats for this species on the Baltic Sea coastline are threatened by petroleum pollution, wetland drainage for irrigation, land abandonment and changing land management practices leading to scrub overgrowth7. The species is also susceptible to avian botulism (so may be threatened by future outbreaks of the disease)9, and suffers predation from feral America mink Neovison vison in some regions8.

Birdlife International

Information

Removing feral American mink Neovison vison from a large archipelago with many small islands in the Baltic Sea resulted in an increase in the breeding density of this species in the area8.

Asian Waterbird Census

Descriptions

The Asian Waterbird Census (AWC) was initiated in 1987 and runs in parallel with other waterbird censuses carried out in Africa, Europe, Central and West Asia and Latin America under the umbrella of the International Waterbird Census (IWC), which is organised by Wetlands International.

The AWC takes place annually, during the second and third weeks of January, and is carried out by volunteers interested in collecting information on waterbirds and wetlands as a basis for contributing to their conservation.
