That must have been an exciting capture, as they are not easy to snap in flight. I'll be interested to see what Andy thinks. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Yes, they are sanderlings....calidris alba the only species to confuse with them in flight is the knot (same genus, calidris canutus). The difference is the knot is a little larger and it fans its' tail in flight. It also has a broader white stripe on the wings. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
