Sandlopare - Sandløber - Pulmussiri - Drieteenstrandloper
I
always associate Sanderling with the long sandy beaches in
Northumberland where flocks of these charismatic waders used to belt up
and down the shore as the waves crashed in.
The species also uses rocky shorelines during both autumn migration and in the winter quarters (often seen on rocky shorelines on Lanzarote).
They are not a particularly shy species and, given the chance, relatively easy to photograph.
For more details about this species at Stag Rocks, Northumerland, England click here. In Øygarden this species is a regular autumn migrant.
