Over-summering shorebirds at the Kerala coasts, west-coast of India
Over-summering is a phenomenon usually exhibited by migratory shorebirds. Those individuals that over-summer at their wintering grounds appear to be sexually immature or unfit to meet the risks of migration.

Over-summering is a phenomenon usually exhibited by migratory shorebirds. Those individuals that over-summer at their wintering grounds appear to be sexually immature or unfit to meet the risks of migration. Documentation of such migratory shorebirds are scanty along the Indian coasts and the present study focused on recording the over-summering shorebirds at five sites (Kappad Beach, Korappuzha Beach, Elathur Beach, Ariyallur Beach and Kadalundi-Vallikkunnu Community Reserve) along the west coast of India during 2021–2022.
