Ratel's photos #319 Water Birds-22

The common sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos)

Basically, this sandpiper spends time walking along the banks, through mud and shallow water. But occasionally he can be seen sitting on the branches.

The waders' legs are not designed for strong grip and hold on the branches, they are intended for walking through water areas.

Something strange in my opinion, happens to the habitat of birds in our city.
Some birds that I noticed last year are missing in this. And vice versa, new birds fly in which I have not seen before.
These sandpipers last year were not in these places. And they are here not by span, but nested.
