Where to spot
Breeds across northern Europe and Asia, from Scandinavia to Siberia. Winters widely in Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and Australia.
How to spot
Look for its rather stocky build, greenish-yellow legs, and finely spotted upperparts. In flight, it shows a prominent white rump and a squarish white tail with dark barring. Listen for its distinctive 'chirrup-chirrup' call.
When to spot
Breeding season from May to July. Migration periods are July-October (southbound) and March-May (northbound).
