Clockwork Cutie - Sanderling Struts its Stuff on the Tideline!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this delightful print captured by Chris Gomersall, we witness a charming Sanderling (Calidris alba) in all its winter plumage glory. This little wading bird is spotted gracefully feeding along the tideline at The Wash, Norfolk in March. But here's a fascinating fact that sets our feathered friend apart from other British waders - it has no back toe! Yes, you heard it right! This unique feature gives the Sanderling an adorable gait reminiscent of a clockwork toy. As we marvel at this enchanting scene, let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty and diversity of nature found on England's coasts. From mudflats to saltmarshes, these habitats provide essential nourishment for sandpipers like our star today. With their keen eyes and nimble beaks, they skillfully scour the littoral zone for tasty treats. So next time you find yourself strolling along a sandy shoreline or exploring coastal reserves, keep an eye out for these dainty creatures with their distinctive walk. They are sure to bring joy and wonderment as they go about their busy feeding routine. Remember to thank Chris Gomersall and Nature Picture Library for capturing this precious moment in time through their lens. Let us cherish such snapshots of wildlife that remind us how truly remarkable our natural world is!
