Its wings are so long they extend past the tail tip at rest \u2014 a key adaptation for one of the longest migratory journeys in the avian world: over 14,000 km from Arctic breeding grounds to the southern tip of South America.<\/p>\n

Distinctive features include the characteristic white patch on the upper tail coverts, visible in flight, which gives the species its name. These small shorebirds are regularly seen foraging along sandy beaches and rocky shorelines, building up energy reserves for their transcontinental flights.<\/p>\n
