Records of white-rumped sandpiper ( Calidris fuscicollis ) on the South Shetland Islands
ABSTRACT A programme to monitor non-breeding bird species in the vicinity of Arctowski Station, King George Island, South Shetlands, Antarctica, has been conducted over the past 30 years. The white-rumped sandpiper Calidris fuscicollis (Vieillot 1819) seems to occur now as a vagrant in South Shetlan...
