https://www.vogelwarte.ch/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/2130_1.jpg16001067The Wood Sandpiper breeds on North European bogs and marshes. It used to be distributed in the northern parts of Central Europe but disappeared due to loss of habitat. It can be regularly observed in Switzerland on its spring and autumn migration. The Wood Sandpiper likes to rest on flooded meadows and may form large flocks, especially when held up by rain.
