An apparent hybrid between this species and Temminck's Stint has been reported from the Netherlands.

Female red-legged partridges and Temminck's stints produce two clutches in very rapid succession.

Temminck's Stint.

The latter would have been hoping for a close-up of one of the area's less frequent visitors, perhaps the great bittern or Temminck's stint.

Temminck's Stint, Calidris temminckii, is a small wader.

But the Temminck's stint has a greyer, more uniform look and its legs are dull yellow, whereas those of the little stint are black.

Temminck's Stints have an intriguing breeding and parental care system in which males and female parents incubate separate clutches, typically in different locations.

A few tiny waders attracted our attention feeding round the edges of the pools, and a close look identified them as stints, both little stint and Temminck's stint.

Temminck's Stint is strongly migratory, wintering at freshwater sites in tropical Africa, the Indian Subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia.

Other birds recorded include Smew, Garganey, Temminck's Stint, Spotted Crake and Red-necked Phalarope.

In spring and early summer, migrant birds including the Little Gull, Black Tern, Temminck's Stint and Garganey may pass through on their way to breed elsewhere.

Temminck's Stint is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.

In and around the lakes there are plenty of Anatinae, such as Long-tailed Duck, Eurasian Teal and Common Scoter as well as many Waders, which include Red-necked Phalarope, Ruff, Temminck's Stint and Common Redshank.

A stint at Groote Keeten in the Netherlands which was initially thought to be that country's first record of the Least Sandpiper but which showed anomalous features, was postulated to be a hybrid between Little Stint ("Calidris" minuta) and Temminck's Stint ("Calidris" temminckii).
