EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot, our feathery friend, the Purple Sandpiper (Calidris maritima), takes center stage on a coastal rock in Norfolk, England. Donning its trendy non-breeding plumage, this stylish bird knows how to make heads turn even during winter! With the Atlantic waves crashing behind it and the picturesque East Anglian coastline as its backdrop, this avian superstar effortlessly steals the show. Its elegant presence and striking purple hues perfectly complement the rugged beauty of England's coast. As temperatures drop and winter sets in, our feathered protagonist fearlessly braves chilly winds to showcase its unique fashion sense. The sandy-colored rocks provide an ideal perch for this wader extraordinaire as it surveys its domain with confidence. Hailing from Europe's temperate shores, these British sandpipers are no strangers to life by the sea. With their distinctive long beaks and slender bodies, they belong to a family of shorebirds known as Scolopacidae – true masters of coastal living. Captured by FLPA/Robin Chittenden through their lens of expertise, this enchanting photograph encapsulates both the untamed spirit of wildlife and the breathtaking allure of nature at its finest. So next time you find yourself strolling along Norfolk's coast in December or simply daydreaming about marine marvels from afar, let this image transport
