Sanderlings
The Sanderling is a small, plump, energetic wading bird. It has a short straight black bill and medium length black legs and is pale grey above and white underneath.
Sanderlings breed in the high Arctic but can be seen in the UK during the winter months and as a passage migrant in spring and autumn. They can be found where there are long, sandy beaches around most of the coast other than in south west England and the rocky coasts of mainland Scotland.
