Other wintering species include little egret, spoonbill, hen harrier, merlin, peregrine, green sandpiper and common sandpiper. |
It has a round head with large, black eyes, and a relatively short bill for a sandpiper. |
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. |
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. |
