Spotted
The Marsh Sandpiper is a very elegant and slender wader with extremely long, thin legs and a needle-fine bill. It resembles a miniature Common Greenshank but is often paler and more delicate.
Where to spot
Breeds in eastern Europe and across Siberia to the Russian Far East. Winters mainly in Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and Australia.
How to spot
Identify by its exceptionally long, greenish-grey legs and slender, straight, needle-like bill. It has a pale overall appearance, especially in non-breeding plumage. In flight, it shows a clean white rump and no wing-bar.
When to spot
Breeding season is from May to July. Migration occurs from August to October (southbound) and March to May (northbound).

The Marsh Sandpiper's very long legs allow it to wade into deeper water than many other similarly sized waders, giving it access to different feeding areas.
