Temminck's Stint, Calidris temminckii, is a species of wader found in heathland and shrub, unvegetated or sparsely vegetated land and river and lake ecosystems. It breeds mainly in Fennoscandia and arctic Russia. This species is a full migrant, migrating on a broad front overland across the full width of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. This species breeds in arctic tundra, shrub tundra and forest tundra along flood-plains, although it avoids extremely cold conditions and exposed coasts. It is mainly found near coastal inlets, fjords, deltas, rivers or streams from sea level to 250 m, but also occurs up to 1,200 m on flat, clear ground with little vegetation, areas covered with short grass and interspersed with patches of scrub, areas with grasses, sedges or Empetrum, and scrub willow or birch thickets with sandy or gravelly stretches (European Red List 2015).

Calidris temminckii has a breeding population size of 6400-11600 pairs and a breeding range size of 71700 square kilometres in the EU27. The breeding population trend in the EU27 is Stable in the short term and Decreasing in the long term.

The EU population status of Calidris temminckii was assessed as Depleted, because the EU27 population or range declined by at least 20% since 1980, but has no longer been declining since 2001.
