Occurrence description

Buiten broedtijd

Als echte kustvogel vertoont de Oeverpieper zich maar zelden ver in het binnenland. In het IJsselmeergebied is de soort schaars en diep landinwaarts verdienen alle waarnemingen goede documentatie. De Oeverpieper vertoeft in Nederland tussen half september en half april, met schaarse meldingen in augustus en mei. De aantallen zijn het hoogst in oktober-november, wanneer vooral de kwelders van het Waddengebied vol met Oeverpiepers kunnen zitten. In koude winters kan het accent richting Deltagebied verschuiven, waarna het Waddengebied in het voorjaar weer zijn koppositie herneemt. De terugtrek naar de Scandinavische broedgebieden verloopt bijna ongemerkt tussen eind februari en begin april.
