Eurasian Dotterel
11/09/17 EURASIAN DOTTEREL. At Mandria, Paphos, today during our BirdLife Cyprus Raptor Migration Count we noticed a small wader come down in an adjacent field. Scanning at a distance we could not at first pick it up. We then fell upon a Common Ringed Plover and with it was a Eurasian Dotterel, a rare passage migrant to Cyprus that breeds in the Arctic tundra and over winters in north Africa. This bird is on it's way to Africa and does not have far to go to complete it's migration journey.
