An enjoyable morning at the coast watching one of my favourite shoreline birds the Sanderlings. My last outing of 2024 and although stormy I could settle down behind one of the groins and watch these little birds dancing with the waves.
The name derives from Old English sand-yrðling, “sand-ploughman”. These little birds are in the Sandpiper family they are a passage migrant spending the winter on our coast before going north to their breeding grounds their Arctic breeding grounds.

Funny video. Well done. Happy New Year! 🥂

They are really cute Andy. The pictures are very nice and in the video they run so quickly, then run back … and I was laughing at the one that took a second or two to scratch behind its ear. Happy New Year!

You’re welcome Andy – same back at you. The weather is something else these days everywhere. I am enjoying our El Nino so far, but I’m sure we’ll get our fair share of snow down the road.

These birds are so cute and you photographed them so well, especially with the one where its head it coming out of the water.
