Good suggestion Arne. I have added that mission.

We have this bird also in Noway. So it also fits in the mission Global Flight, https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/3849-Calidris-alba. The sanderling is a small plump sandpiper, 18–20 cm in length. A beautiful bird, tomk3886, even in winter when it is much paler.
