Searching for food among the stones on the beach
The sandpiper (Arenaria interpres) is a shorebird that is smaller than the black thrush. It breeds on land in tundra areas, rocky coastal areas and islands of the northern regions of Europe, Asia and North America (for example, Greenland). It searches for its food, which consists of worms, molluscs and arthropods, between and under the rocks of the waves and the coastal area, probing the soft soil, beach sand and mudflats with its beak. In the fall, he visits the coasts of Europe, Africa, America, South and Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
In Hungary, it occurs only in small numbers and rarely in wetlands, such as large natural lakes and fish pond taps.
