Sand pipers running very quickly together as it is their typical behavior. They stick together because they are small but together they are a swarm and swarms can be speedy; it is their greatest trait apart from their uncanny ability to find treats in the sands

Shore birds are such fun coastal residents to watch. I love observing little flocks of plovers scampering around in the tide. And there's one sanderling looking right back at you! In my shop
