SANDERLING
These are one of my favourite waders, I usually see them on a sandy beach, scurrying along the waters edge in a neat line, between May and September, when they are migrating between their breeding grounds in the Arctic and their winter places, which can be South Africa, America or Australia. Some do winter over here, although these were taken in Brittany, and because the weather was so awful, they were not on the western beachy side of the peninsular at Quiberon, where I usually see them -but on the more calmer eastern side. |
