Spotted
The Inland Dotterel is a medium-sized, highly nomadic shorebird endemic to the arid and semi-arid regions of inland Australia. Its cryptic plumage provides excellent camouflage.
Where to spot
Arid and semi-arid plains, stony deserts, and sparsely vegetated grasslands of inland Australia.
How to spot
Requires patience and often spotlighting at night due to its cryptic coloration and nocturnal habits. Scan bare ground and sparse vegetation. It remains motionless to avoid detection.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round, but movements are highly nomadic in response to rainfall. Most active at dawn, dusk, and during the night.
