- Abstract
The White-tailed Lapwing - Vanellus leucurus (Lichtenstein, 1823), a very rare Asian erratic species for Romania, appeared in the country with an invasive character in 2000, forming several diffuse nesting colonies along the Dobrogea coasts. In 2001, several pairs nested in the Vadu/Constanța area. The phenomenon was considered a territorial expansion by pulsations, but for two decades it did not stabilize, as specimens were only seen passing by. At the level of 2021, a summary was made of the observations in Dobrogea and a literature review of the publications dedicated to the species at the level of Romania was performed.
