Migrations of Temminck’s Stint (Calidris temminckii) (Scolopacidae, Aves) in the Southern Russia

Abstract
In the southern Russia, during migrations, Temminck’s Stint (Calidris temminckii) is rare and in a small number, unlike the mass migrant Little Stint (Calidris minuta). The rarity of Temminck’s Stint was earlier explained by various causes, including possible omissions when registering similar Little Stints. The paper collects and analyzes all the known data on the phenology of migration, numbers and distribution of Temminck’s Stint in the Southern Russia and adjacent regions. They show that migrations of this species are mainly directed through Central Europe and Central Asia, and Temminck’s Stint arrives in the Southern Russia by chance, flying mostly from the Western Black Sea region and Crimea, when, due to various causes, migratory birds deviate to the east of their European migration route.
