    This document summarizes the first recorded sighting of the Little Stint shorebird species in Brazil. The sighting occurred on October 9th 2018 at a reservoir in Fernando de Noronha, Pernambuco state. The individual was observed alone foraging in the mud on the shoreline. This represents the first record of the Little Stint in Brazil, as prior literature reviews did not turn up any previous sightings, though it has been recorded elsewhere in South America.
