The Wood Sandpiper is another first for me, thanks to Kuwait
The bird is around 18-21cm tall and has a Wing span of 35-39cm. They usually breed on bogs and marshes in taiga. They winter mainly in Africa and are to be seen on migration in areas with coastal or marshes and shallow pools.
In Kuwait the Wood Sandpiper is a common passage migrant, rare to be seen in summer & winter.
Now, enjoy some of the antics I could watch on the golf course some weeks back
Not sure if it’s breeding behavior or just two males getting the spring fever.
