Currently, the Dollard in the Netherlands is a crucial stopover for the Spotted Redshank during its migration. These elegant birds are refueling in the Dollard Estuary, building up energy reserves for their journey to wintering grounds in Africa, south of the Sahara.

 

The photograph captures a moment in the natural world, reminding us of the interconnectedness of ecosystems across continents, the wonder of avian migration and the importance of preserving habitats along their migratory routes.
