Abstract

Ringing recoveries have been used to determine the winter quarters for the different breeding populations of Dunlin. These are Greenlandic, Icelandic, and British breeding birds to north‐west Africa; those from the Baltic to north‐west Africa, the Mediterranean and Persian Gulf; Lapplandic to the British Isles south to north‐west Africa; western Russian to the British Isles, the Mediterranean, the Caspian and Abrabian Gulf; eastern Russian and northern Alaskan to the Asian Pacific coast; western Alaskan to the North American Pacific coast; arctic Canadian to the North American Atlantic coast. Populations that breed in different areas occupy greatly overlapping regions in winter throughout much of the range.
