Field Guide
Wandering Tattler
4 sections
The Wandering Tattler is a medium-sized shorebird that visits Australia’s rocky coastlines and coral reefs during the southern summer, after migrating from breeding grounds in Alaska and eastern Siberia. This species is less common than the Grey-tailed Tattler in Australia and is most often seen singly or in very small numbers, expertly blending into wave-washed rocks and reefs.
