Curlew Sandpipers Calidris ferruginea are patchily distributed during migrations in southern Russia; they stop in significant numbers only on sea coasts and on brackish lakes. The main northward migration takes place during a short period in the second half of May. The southward migration extends between mid-July and early October, with a small peak of passage in late August to early September that does not occur every year.
