Sanderlings amazing little birds for their size
From their breeding beaches in Arctic Siberia fly to beaches in Australia's far south
That this is a wonder of Nature there can be little doubt
These tiny sandpipers in mottled brown and gray
On far southern beaches from home a long way
How they find their way so far south and make it home to breed in the Spring
Remains as a mystery of Nature and an amazing thing
On the beach in Killarney in Victoria them I often see
Their feeding habits seem amazing to me
They eat tiny life forms the waves wash into the bay
And from each incoming wave they turn and quickly run away
They never cease to amaze me the tiny sanderling
Nature indeed is a wonderful thing.
