Description

The Wood Sandpiper is a small wader. It is the smallest of the shanks, and breeds in sub arctic

wetlands from the Scottish Highlands across Europe and Asia.

They migrate to Africa and southern Asia, particularly India. This bird is usually found on fresh water

during migration and wintering.

IdentificationThe Wood Sandpiper in all plumages is slimmer, leggier and more elegant than most other

sandpipers, more like a small Redshank. They also have beautifully spangled upperparts and an

obvious pale supercilium. They are a paler brown than the Green Sandpiper and there is no obvious

contrast between dark breast and pale belly. In flight Wood Sandpipers show a neat, square white

rump but they look brown and white not black and white and their under wings are pale.

DietThese birds forage by probing in shallow water or on wet mud. They mainly eat insects, and similar

small prey.

NestingWood Sandpiper will nest on the ground, or reuse the old tree nest of another bird.
