  5. Least Sandpiper

    Least Sandpiper

    Least is the smallest of the world's sandpipers. This one is in basic (winter) plumage. Note bill shape, lack of primary projection and yellowish legs. Distinction from similar Long-toed Stint (C. subminuta) of Asia is tricky. Long-toed Stint has a vertical dark mark in front of the eye and a...

    Least Sandpiper breeding plumage

    These birds do not breed here but this is an early return migrant. Unfortunately, it was in strong back light, so not what could have been achieved if the light had been behind me.

    least sandpiper

    I’ll continue to post some more photos from the archives. Went birding yesterday, the place was stuffed with hunters (and poor pheasants, released the day before); could have taken a thousand pictures (of hunters). A highly frustrating situation, no way to be able to enjoy the autumn migration.
