Project Noah Fact of the Day: The sanderling is a small active shorebird, often seen at the waters edge running in and out of the surf. An unusual distinguishing feature is the absence of a rear toe (hallux); an adaptation for running fast on sand.
Sanderling (Calidris alba) spotted in Andalucía, Spain by PN user Malcolm Wilton-Jones.
