Rather uncommon winter migrant to lagoons, estuaries, tidal creeks, saltpans and mudflats of lowland coastal areas, mainly in the dry zone. It lives as solitary birds or as few to several scattered birds, usually associating with other sandpipers and plovers. It feeds on various small shore-line animals and has a habit of carrying them to the water edge and washing them before swallowing. It breeds in the high north of
Europe and
Asia.
