Killdeer at Rottige Meente in April 2005
On 3-5 April 2005, a Killdeer Charadrius vociferus stayed near Rottige Meente, Friesland/Overijssel, the Netherlands. It was easily identified by its large size (for a Charadrius plover), long tail, long wings with prominent white wing bar, double black breast band, orange or cinnamon-coloured rump and uppertail and high-pitched, rising, two-toned call. Judging from the worn coverts, it was considered a first-winter bird. It constitutes the first record for the Netherlands.
