The Broad-billed Sandpiper, Calidris falcinellus, is a distinctive small wader belonging to the Scolopacidae family, renowned for its unique bill shape. This long-distance migratory species breeds across the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of Eurasia, undertaking extensive journeys to winter in coastal areas across Africa, South Asia, and Australasia. It is a sought-after species for birdwatchers due to its characteristic feeding behaviour and often elusive nature.
