Ruff (Calidris pugnax) with a pretty white 'ruff.' Male ruffs show their shaggy ruffs in breeding season, which can occur in a variety of colours. Females are called 'reeves.' This species is naturally a wetland bird that consumes invertebrates. It breeds in damp grassy meadows and bogland in Northern Eurasia in the summer and migrates mostly to Africa but also to parts of Europe and Asia in the non-breeding season and can go as far south as South Africa (birds that breed in Northeastern Siberia), which is 15,000 km. They are of Least Concern on the IUCN Red List but have a decreasing population trend. In the UK they can be seen in the winter along the coast and very occasionally breeds in East Anglia but the UK is at the very edge of its breeding range. It is classified in the UK as Red under the Birds of Conservation Concern 5: The Red List for Birds 2021. it has been protected by law since 1981.
