The Common Sandpiper

The Common Sandpiper is a fun bird to photograph.

Why?

Because the bird is not so shy and it likes to scream all the time.

I took these photos as I was walking along the coastline in the archipelago.

Bird facts:

• The adult is 18–20 cm (7.1–7.9 in) long with a 32–35 cm (13–14 in) wingspan.

• Bird type: Palearctic wader.

• The common sandpiper forages by sight on the ground or in shallow water, picking up small food items such as insects, crustaceans and other invertebrates.

• It nests on the ground near freshwater. When threatened, the young may cling to their parent's body to be flown away to safety.
