Adults have short yellow legs and a medium thin dark bill with a yellow base. The body is dark on top with a slight purplish gloss and mainly white underneath. The breast is smeared with grey and the rump is black. Their breeding habitat is the northern tundra on Arctic islands in Canada and coastal areas in Greenland and northwestern Europe .

The male takes the major responsibility for incubation and tends the chicks. The young feed themselves. In Britain, these birds occur in winter in good numbers principally along the east and south coasts, where they favour rocky shorelines adjacent to the sea.

The Sandpiper 565 is a sailing sloop with four berth accommodation. She is one of the popular compact cruisers in eastern Canada and in the Great Lakes region. Designed by Leonardo da Costa Sayago, Portuguese Naval Architect, this English Channel craft was first manufactured by Maxim Marine Ltd., Warsash, Southampton, England and later was built under licence by C&L Boatworks, at the time located in Pickering, Ontario, Canada . In the 1970s Maxim Marine built two similar styled small cruisers, the Sailfish 18 and 25. The English Sailfish shares many characteristics with the Sandpiper 565.
