Winter - 16 (Calidris temminckii)

Winter Visitor - 16

A just 5.5 inches flying
wonder ... coming
from Arctic Circle ...

To these doomed
Wetlands ... that
are being snatched away
from them ...

It sounds rather
pessimistic in this
festive time ... but
truth is ...
... at any given
time ...
See this lovely
individual in a small
video-clip ...

Such a lovely picture of this wee one... well done for finding him Alok.

Thanks, too, for the video my friend; it's very nice indeed.
 
Its a sorry story all over the world more so in developing countries with too much pressure by a growing human population and interference!!! But for now we have them and do hope the new year brings more smiles to all us birders!!! Have a Great Xmas and A Happy New Year to You and Your loved ones Alok & Renu!!!

A fabulous close-up of this tiny wonder. Gorgeous species and a stunning close-up. I wished I could say the loss of habitat in the USA was happening at a slow rate but in fact it is escalating. TFS Alok & Renu!!!!
