Spotted
A medium-sized wader often found in small, secluded freshwater habitats rather than open mudflats. Its dark, contrasting plumage and distinctive flight pattern make it unique among sandpipers.
Where to spot
Breeds across northern Europe and Asia. Winters in southern Europe, Africa, and southern Asia. Found along small, muddy pools, ditches, rivers, and secluded edges of lakes.
How to spot
Look for its dark, contrasting upperparts and pure white underparts. In flight, it shows a prominent white rump and dark underwings. It has a distinctive piping call 'tloo-eet'.
When to spot
Breeding season is from May to July. Migrates south in autumn (July-October) and returns north in spring (March-May). Can be seen year-round in some parts of its wintering range.

Unlike most waders, the Green Sandpiper often nests in trees, using old nests of other birds like thrushes or pigeons, rather than on the ground.
