Little Stint
Calidris minuta

- 40 km/h
- Risiko rendah
Smaller than a sparrow, yet flies from Siberia to South Africa. Your message is a featherweight on a heavy schedule.
- Populasi
- Approximately 1.4-1.5 million individuals globally; considered stable
- Habitat
- Breeds on low-lying Arctic tundra, especially dry grassy/mossy ground near wetlands; on migration and in winter uses coastal mudflats, estuaries, tidal creeks/coastal lagoons, salt pans, and inland lake/river shores
- Fakta menarik
- Little Stint breeding success is tied to Arctic lemming cycles: in years when lemmings are scarce, predators like skuas and snowy owls turn to hunting stint eggs and chicks instead, driving big swings in annual productivity.
- Sebaran
- Breeds across arctic Europe and Siberia (northern Scandinavia through Novaya Zemlya, NW/NC Siberia to the New Siberian Islands); a long-distance migrant wintering in sub-Saharan Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Indian subcontinent, with occasional vagrants reaching North America and Australia
- Makanan
- Small invertebrates picked from mud and shallow water — midge (chironomid) and other fly larvae/adults, small beetles, ants, water-bugs, worms and mollusks; chicks feed heavily on Diptera larvae
