Marsh Sandpiper (Tringa stagnatilis) Oman wildlife
Taken at Masirah Island, Oman.
I will catch up with your photos soon.
Thank you so much for dropping by my photostream and leaving all the kind comments. They are very much appreciated.
FACTS:
Slender pale sandpiper with a fine, needle-like bill. Note the overall slim and elegant shape, with very long and slender greenish legs: suggests a much smaller Greenshank that’s been to ballet school. In flight appears dark above with broad white stripe up middle of back; long legs project well past tail tip. Usually found singly or mixed in with other waders in varied fresh to brackish wetland habitats, usually with open water. Feeds by wading in water, picking with its bill. Repetitive mellow calls somewhat similar to Greenshank, but rather monotone and with a sharper quality. (eBird)
