This Saturday, after a few days of drought aviary and some family issues are beside the point, I decided to take a turn in the Beach Cave (Asturias). A beautiful place to stroll and an estuary where the river empties Esva, which thought that I could find some waders and step, clear the mind a bit. I have the immense good fortune to be one of those people who, when they do something they love (photographing birds, watching a good movie or even work) are able to evade the problems and disconnect from the world. Well I just came across this group Common Sandpiper and I have to say I fell in love immediately. The guess, but to see them from afar and from behind a bush, I got closer. Come to an area of \u200b\u200btall grass, I lie on the ground and dragging me which command was infiltrated into enemy territory to reach them for two or three meters, or flinch. Tire
half a dozen photos, if the shutter sound or my presence scared them as I saw that it was not so, come to take almost half length of the grass little concealment offered me. In the end, tired of the position and neck pain, sitting before the session ends of them naked body.
Dunlin. (Calidris alpina).
The common sandpiper, a species is widespread in the high latitudes of the boreal emisferio, which have been recognized 6 subspecies. Representatives of three of them from Siberia, Greenland and northern Europe, calling at our shores to rest from their migration or even in some cases, winter.
It feeds on insects, larvae, small crustaceans, molluscs and annelids, which traps the race or unearthed from mud banks.

Generally, making a unique set of three or four eggs that hatch both parents. The chicks hatch in 21-22 days and from the first time, move with ease, fully developed in about 19-21 days.
