Field Guide
Marsh Sandpiper
4 sections
The Marsh Sandpiper is a slender, graceful wader that visits Australian wetlands each year. Reminiscent of a smaller, more refined Greenshank, this bird stands out for its delicate build and precise, methodical feeding behaviour. It is a regular but not abundant visitor to Australia during the non-breeding season.
