The Sanderling is a small,
energetic wading bird that can be found in large groups on our
shores during the winter. It comes from the sandpiper family
and is a long-distance migrator, in the Spring they head of to
breed in the High-Arctic. They run along the shores in large
groups looking for small insects and plant material to feed
on.
I used to work away in Essex a lot
and during my downtime there I got to know the local wildlife
very well. I would often walk along the beach close to
Southend-on-sea and look out for photographic opportunities. I
was always fascinated by the small wading birds that would run
up and down the shore line. The majority of these birds were
the adorable Sanderlings (one is pictured alone here). They
seemed to be completely at peace with all the human activity
there and would go about their business, occasionally joining
a flock and flying a little further down the beach when a dog
walker passed close by. I was always surprised but how little
attention the human population paid them too, I found them
mesmerising. I found the best way to photograph them was to
lie belly down in the sand and just wait for them to come to
me - they always did! |
