This large sandpiper, with a brick-red body in summer, has two distinct populations visiting Europe. Nominate subspecies canutus breeds in Taymyr, C Siberia, and winters in Africa, while islandica breeds in Greenland and the Canadian high Arctic, and winters in W Europe. The species is globally listed as Near Threatened, but canutus populations have declined in the recent decades. Trends in islandica numbers are uncertain.
