Tringa glareola
The Wood Sandpiper is a small wader. It is the smallest of the shanks, and breeds in sub arctic wetlands from the Scottish Highlands across Europe and Asia.
They migrate to Africa and southern Asia, particularly India. This bird is usually found on fresh water during migration and wintering.
This bird was feeding on crabs found on the ground as seen in the last photograph.
