      Thank you! I was really taken by the way this bird was so involved with feeding that it completely ignored us. Also have to say the lighting was absolutely terrible. Quite a bit of editing. Very low clouds and quite a heavy mist… and cold! Posted 3 years ago

The Spotted sandpiper

The spotted sandpiper is a small shorebird, 18–20 cm long. Together with its sister species, the Common Sandpiper they make up the genus "Actitis". They replace each other geographically; stray birds may settle down with breeders of the other species and hybridize.
