Temminck's Stint

(Calidris temminckii)
Size: 13-15 cm

Sightings

With a length that is shorter than a House Sparrow's, the bird shown here is certainly one of the small stints, called "Temminck's Stint". It was observed by us on the campus of Sultan Qaboos University, near Muscat, in September 2009.
