The Sanderling is a small wading bird. The name derives from Old English sand-yrðling, “sand-ploughman”.
Sanderlings scamper about the waves looking for marine crustaceans, fish and even jellyfish to eat. It visits the UK in winter from its Arctic breeding grounds, but can also be seen as it passes through on migration during spring and autumn.
