Cream-coloured courser
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.
==Range==
These coursers are found in Canary Islands, Cape Verde, North Africa and southwest Asia. Their two eggs are laid in a ground scrape. The breeding season extends from February to September,〔Maclean, G.L. 1996. Family Glareolidae (coursers and pratincoles). ''In'': J. del Hoyo, A. Elliott & J. Sargatal (eds), ''Handbook of the Birds of the World'' (Vol. 3 - Hoatzin to Auks), pp. 364–383. Lynx Edicions, Barcelona.〕 but they may breed also in autumn and winter when local conditions (especially rainfall) are favourable.〔Amezian, M., Bergier, P. & Qninba, A. 2014. (Autumn-winter breeding by Cream-coloured Coursers ''Cursorius cursor'' is more common than previously reported. ) ''Wader Study Group Bulletin'' 121: 177-180.〕 They are partially migratory, with northern and northwestern birds wintering in India, Arabia and across the southern edge of the Sahara. Some birds also breed in the southern desert regions in northwestern India and Pakistan.〔
They are rare north of the breeding range, but this species has occurred as far away as Finland, Ireland and Great Britain.
