Red-necked stint - Calidris ruficollis

Stints are the smallest of the migratory waders to come to New Zealand – barely the size of a sparrow. The red-necked stint is the only stint species to regularly occur in New Zealand, with up to 200 spending the southern summer here each year. They are most often seen at high-tide roosts associating with other small waders, especially wrybills, and other sandpipers.
