Wood SandPiper, Wilpaththu, Sri Lanka I've yet a lot to learn about shore birds. Based on my Sri Lanka birds book this is either a Wood Sandpiper or a Common Sandpiper. I'm going with the Wood Sandpiper as they have a thinner head and neck than the common species. Asia,Sri Lanka,Tringa glareola,Wilpaththu,Wood Sandpiper Click/tap to enlarge
