https://www.vogelwarte.ch/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/2340_1.jpg16001200The Purple Sandpiper is one of the northernmost breeding birds. It spends the winter farther north than all other waders, some birds even holding out beyond the Arctic Circle. Outside the breeding season, the Purple Sandpiper is attached to pebbly and rocky coasts and favours wave-washed sections for foraging.
