How far does the whimbrel migrate each year?

The whimbrel (Numenius phaeopus) is one of the world's great long-distance migrants. It breeds in subarctic regions of North America, Europe, and Asia, then travels up to 10,000 miles to wintering grounds along tropical coasts like Costa Rica. Some individuals fly non-stop over the open ocean for days, covering thousands of miles in a single flight.

How can this Photo be used?

Licensed for commercial use on Kataloop, this stockphoto suits nature conservation organizations, birdwatching platforms, and travel media covering Costa Rica. Typical uses include campaigns on migratory bird conservation, coastal ecology awareness, or ecotourism promotion. The 8640-pixel resolution also makes it suitable for large-format printing and exhibition display.

What mood does this Photo convey?

The cool blue dusk light and the still posture of the whimbrel create a quiet, focused atmosphere. The bird stands alone at the water's edge, its reflection clearly visible in the shallow film of water. Breaking waves in the background are softened by shallow depth of field. The image conveys calm observation and the unadorned character of a coastal moment.

What equipment was used to capture this Photo?

Shot with the Sony ILCE-1, one of Sony's most capable mirrorless cameras, this whimbrel image captures fine feather detail and a crisp reflection even in subdued coastal light. Its 50-megapixel sensor and strong dynamic range handle low-contrast scenes with ease. At 5760 x 8640 pixels, the file supports large-format print and commercial production without any loss of sharpness.

What visual style or trend does this Photo represent?

Ecotourism and citizen science are drawing greater public attention to migratory species like the whimbrel. In visual communication for NGOs and conservation campaigns, authentic field photography is increasingly preferred over staged imagery. This photo meets exactly that demand: documentary in style, unposed, with a clear connection to coastal habitats along the Central American Pacific coast.
