Red-necked Stint
5 sections
The red-necked stint is a tiny migratory wader that visits New Zealand's shores during our summer months. About the size of a sparrow, this delicate bird is one of the smallest waders you'll see on our coastlines. Its incredible journey from Arctic breeding grounds to New Zealand makes it a marvel of nature and a delight for birdwatchers.
