	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.
		Oriental Pratincole breeds in southern and eastern Asia from Pakistan to north-east China.

	Oriental Pratincole
		The Oriental Pratincole, Glareola maldivarum, is a wader in the pratincole 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.
		These pratincoles are found in warmer parts of south and east Asia, breeding from northern India across to China Europe and south west.

	pratincole - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		Swift and graceful flyers, their sharply pointed, decurved bills are broad-based and open wide as adaptations for feeding on the wing.
		Most pratincoles nest on the ground in shallow depressions or unlined scrapes.
		Pratincoles are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Aves, order Charadriiformes, family Glareolidae.

	Pratincole

		Their 2-4 eggs are laid on the ground.

	Behavior of a Pratincole
		The most extensive downward inclination of the head seemed to be diagnostic of situations in which the pratincole was "timid" or "frightened," i.e.
		As soon as the pratincole had stopped dis- playing and relaxed its posture, it would ruffle all its head, neck, and body feathers, shake out its wings, and then smooth its whole plumage down again.
		The significance of any reaction by a caged bird, of course, is always difficult to analyze; and the hostile behavior patterns described in the preceding paragraphs may comprise no more than a small fraction of the total hostile behavior shown by Oriental Pratincoles in the wild.

	Pratincole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pratincoles are a group of birds which together with the coursers and Egyptian Plover make up the family Glareolidae.
		Like the coursers, the pratincoles are found in warmer parts of the Old World, from southern Europe and Africa east through Asia to Australia.
		The Australian Pratincole, the only species not in the genus Glareola, is more terrestrial than the other pratincoles, and may be intermediate between this group and the coursers.

	Rare birds in Sweden July 13 - August 30, 2001
		The major one is the Oriental Pratincole (Glareola maldivarium) I wrote about in the last report.
		Most facts are pointing towards an acceptance of the bird as indeed an Oriental and not a Collared Pratincole (G. pratincola), and the bird is still at the same spot (60 days now), moulding during that time.
		It seems that there are more characters pointing towards Oriental Pratincole than towards Collared (G. pratincola), so IF it will be accepted as an Oriental Pratincole, it will be new to Sweden (number 469, or if the American Mourning Dove is accepted as cat.

		The pratincole dropped a feather, which was colleted and send to DNA analysis, hopefully there is some reference material to compare with somewhere in the world.
		There are very few accepted records in Europe of Oriental Pratincole, 2 or 3 in Great Britain are the only ones I have heard of.
		Last Monday, July 2, a pratincole was found at Aangsnaaset (Ängsnäset) on the Falsterbo peninsula, Scania, SW Sweden.

	Glareola nordmanni
		Black-winged Pratincoles get their name from their completely dark underwings, lacking the copper coverts of a Collared Pratincole, but in the strong Mediterranean light, all pratincoles usually look dark below anyway.
		The presence or absence of the white trailing edge of the secondaries is usually easier to determine; if this is lacking, the bird will be a Black-winged Pratincole.
		At rest they are even harder to separate but Black-winged Pratincoles are darker brown above and even in full breeding plumage show hardly any red at the base of the bill.
