	Collared Pratincole
		The height of the Collared Pratincole is between 17 to 21 centimeters (6 to 8 inches).

	Black-winged Pratincole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Black-winged Pratincole, Glareola nordmanni, is a wader in the pratincole bird family, Glareolidae.
		Their most unusual feature of the pratincoles is that although classed as waders they typically hunt their insect prey on the wing like swallows, although they can also feed on the ground.
		Very good views are needed to distinguish this species from other pratincoles, such as the Collared Pratincole and the Oriental Pratincole which may occur in its range.

	OSME - Oriental Pratincole in Egypt
		It was initially idenitified as a Black-winged Pratincole Glareola nordmanni based on the apparently uniform dark underwing; the absence of a white trailing edge to the secondaries; and the lac k of contrast on the upperwing.
		The pratincole took flight and was watched as it circled the ponds feeding on insects.
		We came to the conclusion that the bird must be an aberrant Collared Pratincole, although there was some dissatisfaction with this identification.

	Wonderful Waders
		Pratincoles are short-legged and long-winged waders that resembles swallows or terns in their buoyant flight.
		The collared pratincole, Glareola pratincola, is a passage migrant in general, but a breeding visitor to Oman and Saudi Arabia with single, small colonies in both countries.
		Black-winged pratincole (Glareola nordmanni) and oriental pratincole (Glareola maldivarum) are very similar to the collared pratincole and great skill is needed to separate them conclusively.

	WWF Global 200 Ecoregions -- Danube River Delta (159)
		Here rare pelicans swoop over the water searching for fish, pygmy cormorants and collared pratincoles breed, and countless other birds pause during their migrations to feed in the surrounding wetlands.
		Fish species endemic to the lower Danube basin are a loach and the critically endangered Asprete perch.
		The loss of two of this ecoregion’s migratory fish species and the risk to several more can be attributed to the modification of this ecoregion’s aquatic systems by humans.

		As a birder who already likes to regularly get around birding from a bike - the prompt from my mate Simon Woolley in Hampshire was all it took.
		When we hit mainland Scotland, the pager sparked back into life and to my amazement the pratincole was still present.
