Au centre de la photo, un bécasseau sanderling en plumage internuptial (plumage majoritairement blanc avec le dessus des ailes gris argenté avec un effet écaillé) de profil montrant son côté gauche. Il est en train d'avancer dans une fine couche d'eau qui renvoie son reflet comme un miroir. La lumière est douce et donne à l'eau des coloris argentés. L'ambiance est paisible.

Knowing and Not Knowing

I spent hours photographing small sandpipers at 7-Mile Island Beach without needing to name them perfectly.

The tiny drama on the shoreline

At the beach of Oranjezon in Zeeland, I stumbled into a miniature comedy act starring two birds with very different personalities. In Dutch we call them a Steenloper and a Drieteenstrandloper — but internationally they’re known as the Ruddy Turnstone (Arenaria interpres) and the Sanderling (Calidris alba).

The Turnstone was doing its usual business: flipping over shells and stones with impressive determination, searching for hidden snacks. But right behind it — practically glued to its tail — the Sanderling trotted along, refusing to be shooed away. The back-and-forth between them felt like watching a feathered version of the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote, tiny legs moving at ridiculous speeds.

Photographically, this was a fun challenge. A dark grey day, the sea rolling in behind them, and me lying low with the Canon 5D Mark IV and Sigma 100–400mm at 400mm. Because of the poor light I had to work with a slower shutter speed (1/250s). Tracking two hyperactive birds at that focal length is like trying to thread a needle in a storm — but somehow it worked. The legs slightly blurred just enough to show their speed, while the birds themselves stayed sharp.

I’m honestly proud of this one. A little slice of nature, comedy, and chaos — exactly as it happened on that windy Zeeland beach.

Regroupés au centre de la photo, trois oiseaux limicoles : un bécasseau sanderling au plumage internuptial (ventre blanc et ailes d'un joli gris argenté), entouré par deux grands gravelots (ventre blanc, dos brun clair, collier sombre). Ils sont regroupés sur une petite bande de vase couverte d'algues plus ou moins sèches, au milieu d'une eau peu profonde à effet de miroir. dans le fond, on voit des herbes hautes et sombres. Le bécasseau a les plumes des ailes légèrement ébouriffées, ce qui fait ressortir leur effet d'écailles. La luminosité est douce, la photo a été prise en fin d'après midi tandis que le soleil avait déjà disparu derrière les collines à l'Ouest.

Mentre els tractors tracten de fer la neteja de les platges després de la catàstrofe de la DANA els territs de tres dits van amunt i avall buscant menjant.

Des de fa unes setmanes hi ha un grup d'uns 20-30 territs de tres dits en la platja del Rei del Mareny de Barraquetes. És un ocell que en l'estiu habita regions àrtiques i durant l'hivern ens visita. Una mostra de la vida de les nostres platges sense turisme.

During our day trip down the shore at Avalon Beach, Bhavna and I continued our observation of the shoreline, soaking in the sun and the soothing sounds of the waves gently rolling in. As we sat, I spotted a few small shorebirds swiftly darting in and out of the waves with surprising speed. They were Sanderlings (Calidris alba). I’ve seen them many times on previous shore visits, but this time I had the right lens, my XF150-600mmF5.6-8 R LM OIS WR, to capture a photograph.

The Sanderling's light brown and white plumage shimmered as they foraged along the wet sand, blending with the scattered seashells and pebbles. With their slender black beak pointed downward, they picked at tiny bits of debris left behind by the retreating tide. They moved quickly, never still for more than a moment; their delicate legs were a blur as they ran along the water's edge.

The sunlight was just right—the soft glow of the late morning casting a gentle light on the scene. As the waves receded, the sand briefly glistened with the retreating water. The Sanderling seemed like seasoned beachcombers, entirely at home among the shells and sea foam.

Sanderlings (Calidris alba) and Semipalmated Sandpipers (Calidris pusilla) are closely related. Both species belong to the Scolopacidae family, which is the family of shorebirds often referred to as sandpipers.

Entre les limícoles que vaig vore a la #llacunadelpujol estaven els territs de tres dits, este exemplar estava ben prop i el vaig poder fotografiar.

Durant l'hivern es deixen veure els territs de tres dits uns xicotets ocells limícoles que crien a l'estiu en l'Àrtic i que s'alimenten aprofitant les ones.

A photograph of a sandy beach with a white bird near the center of the frame. The beach has white sand and many broken pieces of shells. A wave of water is receding and the bird is standing just in front of the water. The bird is mostly white with brown patches on its wings, tail, the top of its head, and around its neck. Its short legs and long beak are black.
