Common Sandpiper -
Oeverloper
-
Actitis hypoleucos

Image ID:
5368
Date:

Location: 
Zeeuws Vlaanderen,
The Netherlands
Description: 

After I took the picture, I noticed the bird was looking up. This is common behaviour of waders, who frequently scan the sky for potential danger. Proabably there was a Marsh Harrier or Common Buzzard flying over. The waders often see  the birds of prey much earlier dan we, humans, do.
