Abstract

The Grey-tailed Tattler Tringa brevipes is a migratory shorebird species that migrates to the southern hemisphere, including Indonesia. In Sumatra, the species was previously considered a vagrant, but new records suggest it may be an uncommon visitor. A study compiled 26 sightings of Tringa brevipes in Sumatra from 1999 to 2024, with most records coming from the east coast of the island. The species was found in small numbers, with the largest flock consisting of 20 individuals. Based on these records, it is recommend reclassifying the species' status to "uncommon visitor" rather than "vagrant." Further research is needed to understand the species' migration patterns and habitat use in Sumatra.
