  Cream-coloured Courser - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cream-coloured Courser, Cursorius cursor, is a wader in the pratincole and courser family, Glareolidae.
Although classed as waders, these are birds of dry open country, preferably semi-desert, where they typically hunt their insect prey by running on the ground.
The body plumage is sandy in colour, fading to whitish on the lower belly.

 Somali Courser, Cursorius somalensis
Considered by some authorities to be a subspecies of the Cream-coloured Courser (Cursorius cursor) but we have gone with Zimmerman in treating this as a distinct species.
It is a diurnal Courser which can be seen running rapidly across the ground stopping briefly to feed or check around.
It has a characteristic head bob and when disturbed it generally runs.

 Rare Birds in Lincolnshire - possible new birds to Lincolnshire
This species was found here in about 1840, when the British were fighting the Yankees in the Battle Of New Orleans, so obviously, someone was left back in Lincolnshire to carry on birding whilst this little skirmish took place!.
If a Cream-coloured Courser turned up now, I feel sure we would all treat it as a Lincolnshire first.
We have plenty of lark habitat in the county, so it is surprising that we have few rare larks found.

This is the CCC on St Martin's, taken with EOS 20D with 600mm f4 IS, rested on a rolled up jacket on a drystone wall.
The CCC is a beautiful bird and should be seen as a whole and not as in this gratuitous headshot.

The Cream-coloured Courser lives in semi-desert sandy-rocky plains and sand-dunes.
