This was also true with the common snipe, lesser yellowlegs, willet, and western sandpiper. |
I was in search of migrant birds and I discovered sand martins and my first common sandpiper of the year. |
Six species are considered to be breeders, including the least sandpiper and greater yellowlegs. |
The Green sandpiper is a small solitary wader which has a long straight beak, a whitish eye ring and eyestripe. |
The group has also managed the wet farmland so winter visitors include snipe, redshank, water rail and common sandpiper. |
But in Iceland and at the southern borders of its breeding range generally the purple sandpiper usually nests on the fells. |
