Dieser Artikel befasst sich mit dem Watvogel. Für weitere Bedeutungen siehe Sanderling (Begriffsklärung). Laufender Sanderling Der Sanderling (Calidris alba) ist ein kleiner Watvogel aus der Gattung der Strandläufer. Im Wattenmeer der Niederlande und Deutschlands taucht er vor allem im Winterhalbjahr in teils großen Schwärmen an der Nordseeküste auf, weitaus seltener im Binnenland. Er lässt sich außerdem ganzjährig zumindest in kleiner Zahl beobachten. An der Ostsee überwintert dagegen nur ein kleiner Teil der Sanderlinge. Während der Zugzeiten sind dort höchstens einige wenige hundert Vögel zu beobachten.
