Tawny-throated Dotterel

Oreopholus ruficollis

Least Concern

The Tawny-throated Dotterel is a shorebird of Australian arid grasslands and open plains. It uses its bill, legs, and alert flight to feed on invertebrates, seeds, or small aquatic prey along coasts, mudflats, rivers, lakes, grasslands, or open ground; many shorebirds make impressive seasonal movements between breeding and non-breeding areas.
