Acerca de
El chorlito dorado europeo (unos 200 g) es un playero de porte erguido que en plumaje nupcial luce partes superiores doradas y negras y un vientre negro. Se reproduce en brezales y turberas del norte de Europa y migra al sur en invierno, cuando forma grandes bandadas en pastizales y tierras de labor. Su llamada melancólica y fluida es uno de los sonidos más evocadores de los páramos. Las poblaciones han disminuido en algunos países por la pérdida de turberas.
