Excepté en période de reproduction, le sanderling, livrée gris perle et blanc, bec et pattes noires, est principalement un oiseau côtier, sautillant avec légèreté sur les plages de sable, courant après le ressac, ou à l'abri de la marée haute, en groupe dense et immobile. Cependant, on l'observe également en mai, à l'intérieur des terres, au bord des pièces d'eau, alors qu'il entame sa remontée rapide vers le Nord.
Sanderling (Calidris alba) is a small wading bird. The name derives from Old English sand-yrðling, "sand-ploughman".
Seen here at Hauxley beach near to the Hauxley Nature Reserve, Northumberland.
Sanderlings are the "whitest" of the peeps, especially in their winter plumage. There was a small group of Sanderlings at East Beach, Fort DeSoto, Florida. Some were transitioning to summer colors, but not this guy.
Sanderling - Calidris Alba
The sanderling (Calidris alba) is a small wading bird. The name derives from Old English sand-yrðling and sand-ploughman.The genus name is from Ancient Greek kalidris or skalidris, a term used by Aristotle for some grey-coloured waterside birds. The specific alba is Latin for white.
It is a circumpolar Arctic breeder, and is a long-distance migrant, wintering south to South America, South Europe, Africa, and Australia. It is highly gregarious in winter, sometimes forming large flocks on coastal mudflats or sandy beaches.
The sanderling breeds in the High Arctic areas of North America, Europe and Asia. In North America, it breeds in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, Nunavut, Greenland (and to a lesser extent Alaska). In Eurasia, it breeds in Spitsbergen and areas of northern Russia from the Taymyr Peninsula to the New Siberian Islands. In the northern winter, it has a nearly cosmopolitan distribution across the world's marine coasts. It is a complete migrant, travelling between 3,000 to 10,000 km (1,900 to 6,200 mi) from its breeding grounds to its wintering sites. Birds that travel further also arrive later and leave sooner. Most adults leave the breeding grounds in July and early August, whereas juvenile birds leave in late August and early September. The northward migration begins in March at the southern end of their winter distribution.
If its size is misjudged, a sanderling in breeding plumage can be mistaken for some varieties of stint, or a sanderling in winter plumage can be mistaken for a dunlin or red knot. It can be told from other small wading birds, given good views, by its lack of a hind toe. Its behavior is also distinctive.

Taken on Shell Bay, Dorset.
A well decorated bird for long distance flying with all the colours of an Olympic contestant.
Something completely different, this little bird continued to pose so beautifully for me on the beach, during a beach walk.
I would like to thank all, that you have taken the time to view and comment on my photos, it is very much appreciated.
