The Long-toed Stint is a small shorebird with long toes. It breeds in northern Asia and migrates south for winter, using shallow wetlands and similar habitats.
It is distinguished by its long toes and finely mottled, mostly brown plumage.
It forages for small aquatic animals in shallow water. It spends the breeding season in northern Asia and moves south in the colder season.
It breeds in pairs near pools in grassy bogs or mountain tundra, making a concealed shallow nest on a sedge hummock among mosses and dwarf willows.
Its long toes and light body allow it to walk on floating vegetation. Foods include beetles and other insects, small snails, crustaceans, amphibians and seeds.
It has pale yellow-green legs, a relatively long neck and a middle toe longer than the bill. Juveniles have whitish upperpart feather edges, while nonbreeding birds retain extensive breast streaking.
