Common Sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos) can be seen in Fuerteventura often foraging in shallow water at the edge of the tide pecking and probing with their bills.
These medium-sized birds grow up to 20 centimetres in length with a wingspan of up to 35 centimetres. They have greyish-brown upperparts and white underparts with short dark-yellowish legs and feet, their bill has a pale base with a dark tip.
