Little Stint

The Little Stint is a tiny wading bird and is a passage migrant with most birds being juveniles seen in August and September on the east coast of England. They can be found along the edges of lakes and reservoirs where there is exposed mud and sheltered estuaries and brackish and marshy pools near the coast.

Little Stints are much scarcer in April and May when small numbers of adults are seen en route to their breeding grounds in the Arctic tundra.
