A Purple Sandpiper in profile on a large rock with water behind it. The sandpiper's small and round with purplish feathers (they're more of a gray with a bit of a purple sheen to them) and it has orange-yellow legs.

A purple sandpiper, in profile view, walking towards the right side of the image, over boulders on a shoreline that are covered in bright green "seaweed". Gentle waves are rolling in, with a pretty combination of blue water and white froth. Purple sandpipers have bright orange legs, feet and beaks, which stand out against their purplish brown body colour.
This Purple Sandpiper chose a very pretty setting for its portrait. #birds #sandpiper #purplesandpiper

Purple sandpipers, a bird named for a very subtle feature, the slight purplish iridescent sheen just visible here on the wing feathers.

Brown and gray bird standing on moss-covered rocks with patches of seaweed. The bird has a slightly curved orange beak and bright orange legs. Sunlight highlights the bird's feathers, showing detailed patterns.
I took this picture of a #PurpleSandpiper 2007 on Baltrum during a training for my civilian service.

Finally getting around to doing some image editing and just finished this shot of a purple sandpiper preening itself on the New Jersey shore from two weeks ago. #purplesandpiper #newjersey #barnegatlight

A Purple Sandpiper steps through seawater, with stone boulders to either side of it. It’s a sunny day on the Northumberland coast, so the orangy yellow legs show up well below its white belly. It has a orangy yellow bill with a black tip. Its upper body is mainly greyish light brown, with darker areas on its wings … these can be tinged purple in the breeding season

An obliging Purple Sandpiper. This bird was foraging among the Zebra Mussel shells out near the end of the Bird Island Pier. They breed in the high arctic, and winter in much higher latitudes than most shorebirds. #purplesandpiper #calidrismaritima #shorebirds #buffalo #buffalony #eriecounty #wny

Purple Sandpiper: a plump wader with brownish grey plumage and orange legs and bill standing on a seaweed covered rock on edge of the sea.
Nice close views of a Purple Sandpiper (Calidris maritima) on the rocks at Holland Haven, Essex yesterday. Not a species I see very often. #EssexWildlife #PurpleSandpiper

A purple sandpiper standing on a large, wet and algae covered rock, stands mid-right, side profile view, facing to the left. A wav crashes in from the left, the bird has its eye closed, looking like it is absolutely in it's element -- and it is. The wave creates small droplets of water which sparkle around the bird in various globules and sizes all around the frame. The wave of water is crystal-white. The purple sandpipers plumage, in the sunlight shows some iridescent purple hues shining on its brown wings, which gives it its name.
So mindful, so demure.

Absolutely delighted to spot our 1st #purplesandpiper of 2025 foraging on the sea defences moments after saying to my OH ‘this is a perfect time to spot a purp’. 😁. #Overstrand #birds

A Purple Sandpiper stands on a rock offshore. It faces right and turns its head to a full profile. Maybe there is a hint of purple in the gray head which descends into spots on the breast leading to a white belly. Its notable feature is a two-toned slight decurved bill, beginning in light orange near the face and ending in black near the tip.

I never quite got the "purple" in the Purple Sandpiper but they sure are sandpipish. #purplesandpiper #bird #birdphotography
