Temminck's Stint - Calidris temminckii Temminck's Stint was named after Coenraad Jacob Temminck who was a Dutch naturalist. Stint is one of several very small waders in the genus Calidris which in North America are known as peeps. Some of these birds are difficult to identify because of the similarity between species and various breeding, non-breeding, juvenile and moulting plumages. Reference to stint in Britain was first met with in 1472 as 'styntis' with the present spelling occurring in 1622. More

Temminck's Stints are fairly regular in The Netherlands in late summer and early autumn (as well as during spring maigration), though never and nowhere really common. They are particularly known to occur on inundated flower bulb fields, which become very rich in nutrients after a while. Farmers in the province of N-Holland do this (between July and September) to fight a little organism in the soil, which is known to affect the growing bulbs. More
