Oneof thesespecies - Jack Snipe Lymnocryptes minimus - ceased breeding at the end of the 19thor beginningof the 20thcentury; three species, i.e. Oystercatcher Haematopus ostralegus, Wood SandpiperTringa glareola and Greenshank T. nebulariabreed in the Moscowregion irregularl)5 as the regionlies at the edgeof their breedingranges. The remainingseven species - RedshankTringa totanus(several humdred pairs), Marsh SandpiperTringa stagnalis (up to 150-200pairs), Terek SandpiperXenus cinereus (up to 100pairs), Ruff Philomachuspugnax (up to 150pairs), Great Snipe Gallinagomedia (up to 100-150pairs), Curlew Numenius arquata (70-90, but probablyup to 100-110 pairs)and Black-tailedGodwit Limosa limosa (200-250 pairs) breed regularly in the Moscowregion. The mostthreatened species are Great Snipe and Ruff; Curlew is lessvulnerable.

  • Poland, May 2011
    Woodpeckers, Waders and Warblers: North-eastern Poland, 12-17th May Participants: Ian Reid and Tom Bedford North-eastern Poland had been on my list of places to go ever since Bill Oddie’s second series went there and he was guided around by Marek Borkowski to see goodies such as Aquatic Warbler and Great Snipe. Finally in ’11 I decided it was high time I went and I was delighted when Tom showed enthusiasm for joining me. In fact having set the ball rolling, choosing the dates, sorting out guides, and pricing flights, I then ended up in a very busy period at work and it was Tom took care of most of the remaining logistics. It is possible to do such a trip rather cheaper than we did, but we opted for the convenience of Heathrow and took BA to Warsaw at a cost of approx. £150 each. Car hire, booked through carhire3000.com was a Toyota Yaris with Thrifty, and once we had added a second driver came to about £200 for 6 days. We booked guides through Lukasz Masurek’s site wildpoland.com for the evening of 12th (for Pygmy Owl), 8 hours on 13th (Woodpeckers and the Strict Reserve), and the evening of 13th (Great Snipe). Arek Szmyura, mentioned in many trip reports was our guide for the first two, and his son Mateusz took us to the Great Snipe lek. Prices have gone up a lot since the reports I read from ’09. The Pygmy Owl trip cost 90euros, Arek’s services for 8 hours on 13th was 150euros, and the Great Snipe trip was also 90euros.

  • Migration Phenology of Jack Snipe Lymnocryptes Minimus at an Irish Coastal Wetland
    Migration phenology of Jack Snipe Lymnocryptes minimus at an Irish coastal wetland Tom Cooney 42 All Saint’s Road, Raheny, Dublin D05 C627 Corresponding author: [email protected] Keywords: Ireland, Jack Snipe, Lymnocryptes minimus , migration phenology Migration times of Jack Snipe Lymnocryptes minimus were monitored at North Bull Island in Dublin Bay during 2011/2012 to 2016/2017. Average arrival times in autumn centred on 2 October and average departure times in spring on 23 April. Although these results were site and habitat specific, they were similar to recent migration data for Ireland. While the time series examined for Ireland and Britain were of different lengths, migration times were extraordinarily similar. The average autumn arrival date for Ireland as a whole was 16 September while that for Britain was 23 September, and departure times in spring for Ireland centred on 30 April, one day later than in Britain. The close agreement suggests that migration times across both islands possibly occur synchronously. Other recently generated data for Ireland provides tantalising evidence that passage migration may take place and that Jack Snipe could be more frequent in upland areas than previously suspected. In both instances greater clarity will only be possible through increased observer effort and higher detection rates of this enigmatic species. Introduction Britain, but not in Ireland (Smiddy 2002). In winter, Jack Snipe appear to be widely but thinly distributed across much of Jack Snipe Lymnocryptes minimus are difficult to detect in Ireland with highest densities in counties along the west coast winter largely due to their solitary behaviour, nocturnal or (Balmer et al.

  • First Record of the Terek Sandpiper in California
    FIRST RECORD OF THE TEREK SANDPIPER IN CALIFORNIA ERIKA M. WILSON, 1400 S. BartonSt. #421, Arlington,Virginia 22204 BETTIE R. HARRIMAN, 5188 BittersweetLane, Oshkosh,Wisconsin 54901 On 28 August 1988, while birding at Carmel River State Beach, MontereyCounty, California(36032 ' N, 121057' W), we discoveredan adult Terek Sandpiper (Xenus cinereus). We watched this Eurasian vagrantbetween 1110 and 1135 PDT; we saw it again,along with local birders, between 1215 and 1240 as it foraged on the open beach. Wilson observedthe bird a third time on 5 September 1988 between 1000 and 1130; otherssaw it regularlyuntil 23 September1988. During our first observationa light overcastsky resultedin good viewingconditions, without glare or strongshadows. The weather was mild with a slightbreeze and some offshorefog. We found the Terek Sandpiperfeeding in the Carmel River'sshallow lagoon, separated from the Pacific Ocean by sand dunes. Its long, upturnedbill, quite out of keepingwith any smallwader with whichwe were familiar,immediately attracted our attention. We moved closer and tried unsuccessfullyto photographit. Shortlythereafter all the birdspresent took to the air. The sandpiperflew out over the dunesbut curvedback and landedout of sighton the open beach. We telephonedRobin Roberson,and half an hour later she, Brian Weed, Jan Scott, Bob Tinfie, and Ron Branson arrived,the lattertwo armedwith telephotolenses. We quicklyrelocated the TerekSandpiper on the beach,foraging at the surfline. The followingdescription is basedon our field notes,with color names takenfrom Smithe(197.5). Our bird was a medium-sizedsandpiper resemblinga winter-plumagedSpotted Sandpiper (Actitis rnacularia)but distinguishedby bright yellow-orangelegs and an upturnedbill (Figure1). The evenlycurved, dark horn bill, 1.5 timesthe lengthof the bird'shead, had a fleshyorange base.

  • The Birds of Wimbledon Common and Putney Heath 2015
    The Birds of Wimbledon Common and Putney Heath 2015 Male Wheatear on the log pile 1 The Birds of Wimbledon Common and Putney Heath 2015 The Birds of Wimbledon Common and Putney Heath 2015 espite coverage on the Common being rather poor again this year, a total of 96 species were D recorded, four more than in 2014. Of these, 45 bred or probably bred, with no doubt the highlight of the year being the successful breeding of a pair of Skylarks on the Plain, the first to do so since 2007. Much credit for this achievement must go to Wildlife & Conservation Officer, Peter Haldane, and his staff, who have persevered over the years to create a suitable and safe habitat for this Red-listed bird. Credit is also due to Chief Executive, Simon Lee, for his valuable cooperation, and indeed to the vast majority of the visiting public, many of whom have displayed a keen interest in the well-being of these iconic birds. Signage on the Plain this year was extended to the two uncut sections during the autumn and winter months, thus affording our migrants and winter-visiting birds a sanctuary in which to feed and shelter safely. Another outstanding high note this year was the Snow Bunting found on the Large Mound in January, a first for the Common since records began in 1974; and yet another first for the Common came in the form of three Whooper Swans at Rushmere in December. There was also a surprising influx of Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers during the spring, a bird that in the previous few years had become an extremely scarce visitor.
