Calidris alba (Tr. Ak kumkuşu, In: Sanderling Ca: Territ tresdits Da: Sandlĝber De: Sanderling Es: Correlimos tridáctilo Fi: pulmussirri Fr: Bécasseau sanderling It: Piovanello tridattilo Nl: Drieteenstrandloper No: Sandlĝper Pt: Pilrito-das-praias Sv: Sandlöpare US: Sanderling Ru: Песчанка)

Last three days I upladed three different Calidris species from Filyos. Yesterday we were again in Filyos and this time I saw this fourth Clidris species there.

In Turkey seven Calidris species were recorded.
*** C. alba
*** C. alpina
*** C. canutus
*** C. ferruginea
*** C. fuscicollis
*** C. melanotus
*** C. minuta

You can find photos of five of them in my gallery. C. fuscicollis and C. melanotus were recorded, however, nobody has theri photos in Turkey.

İdentification C. alba
In winter plumage their almost white, silvery plumage distinguishes them from both the longer-billed Dunlins and the smaller Little Stints. The contrasting black spot around the shoulder of the wing is another really useful feature. You have to become familiar with the size and shape of a Sanderling to confidently identify the juveniles with their spangled silver and black upperparts and the summer plumaged birds with their reddish upperparts heavily marked with black. In flight the pale wing bar is broader and more contrasting than in similar birds such as Dunlin or the stints.

Tomorrow I will upload 5th Calidris species to show you Calidris species in the same area in Filyos.

Mustafa merhaba,gerçekten portfolyonda süper bir seri oluşturdun.Teknik olarak her zamanki gibi kusursuz bir fotoğraf.Netlik ve kompozisyon harika.Kutlarım,ellerine sağlık,selamlar :)

Mustafa,

I can see you have been spending your photography trips in a very similar fashion as I have. I've spent my last 3 outings photographing shore birds and must say that the work is very rewarding. (I will post a couple more shots soon). You've done very well with this one. Everything clicks just right here - your photo is very enjoyable. TFS.

Best Regards,

Martin

bu seferki tam alba (beyaz) olmuş dr. eline sağlık, geçen yıl bugünlerde yine arazide ve beraberdik, bu yıl istediğimiz gibi gitmese de seneye kısmet. yarınkini de merakla bekliyorum.
