dotterel

1 Climate change was also said to be having an impact further inland on species such as the dotterel, a bird that breeds only on the highest mountain tops of Scotland.

2 All kinds of waterfowl are at all seasons abundant in the Nile waters, and especially frequent the pools left by the retiring river—pelicans, geese, ducks, ibises, cranes, storks, herons, dotterels, kingfishers, and sea-swallows.

3 Among the dainties of the feathered kind, enumerated in this entertainment, Mr. Nichols mentions herons, bitterns, godwites, dotterels, shovelers, curlews, and knots.

4 As we pursued our journey homewards on the following day, we passed several flights of dotterel making to the south, this being the first migration we had observed in that direction.

5 This poor dotterel, Sir Arthur, is playing fast and loose with me.

6 Other names of birds not quite so common used to describe stupid people are dotterel and dodo.

7 It warned birds such as kittiwakes and dotterels were particularly vulnerable.

8 A dotterel goes plaintively piping over the stones, and the "cheep, cheep," of the awakening ling-birds rises from every brae.

16 If the dotterel's eggs were put down among grass, or even among the clods of ploughed land, they would be equally difficult to find.

17 In spring, "trips" of rare dotterel often led us about the higher hills for days, and sometimes we had to stay all night on the mountain.

18 It has even been put forward that the colours of their eggs are intended to deceive; and those of the dotterel, laid on the open beach, are often mentioned as an instance.
