š¦ The common sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos)
- Actitis (Greek) - inhabitant of the coast
- hypoleucos (Greek): - whitish

This is strange. Look at the photo above. This place is very far from the city, it is a wild forest, and this place in the photo is, I think, shown on old maps as a swamp. Do you see any swamp or any source of water here? Exactly, there is nothing like that here.

However, it was here that I met this sandpiper.
These guys live near water, that is, rivers.

How did he get here, why is he here... so many questions. If there was once a swamp here, it was clearly a very long time ago, and the bird is unlikely to remember it due to its age.
