caption: The image shows a spotted sandpiper, a small bird, flying over the water with its wings spread wide, gliding gracefully through the air. Its feathers are a mottled brown and white, and its beak is a bright yellow. Its eyes are a deep black, and it has a white patch on its chest. Its wings are outstretched and its tail feathers are fanned out behind it. The water below is calm and still, reflecting the sky above.
