| I was in search of migrant birds and I discovered sand martins and my first common sandpiper of the year. |
| It has a round head with large, black eyes, and a relatively short bill for a sandpiper. |
| There were a dozen black-winged stilts, two spur-winged plovers, a common sandpiper and my new life bird, a great snipe. |
| The group has also managed the wet farmland so winter visitors include snipe, redshank, water rail and common sandpiper. |
| The majority of sandpiper species adopt the breeding strategies outlined above. |
| The best known of sex-role-reversed shorebirds are the spotted sandpiper, phalaropes, and jacanas. |
