The broad-billed sandpiper is an uncommon palearctic migrant. Note the distally decurved bill which has a flattened tip, best seen in upper left image. Also note the forked supercilium with a faint medial line. The images of adults were made at Pembe Abwe in October 2006. The images of the nest and chicks were taken in Norway, courtesy of Stein Ø. Nilsen. Roll your cursor over the chick to see another image.. |
