Measuring no more than 14 centimeters in length, this delicate creature survives on a diet consisting of insects, crustaceans, and molluscs. It skillfully forages for these nourishing treats amidst mudflats and estuaries. Archibald Thorburn's exquisite illustration captures the essence of this migratory wonder with intricate detail and precision. His artistry brings to life the beauty and gracefulness of this coastal dweller.
