Very interesting and enjoyable article. Shore birding must be very refreshing because of the softness of the wet wind off the beach.
Because of everything you describe, those Sanderlings are very agile when it comes to escape from what they consider a threat. The best thing is that they eat those little jellyfish, they are not very nice when they sting our skin.... They, the Sanderlings, are very important animals for nature, as they help to maintain the balance of the ecosystem.
Thank you @agmoore for sharing your research with all of us.
Muy interesante y ameno tu artículo. La observación de aves costera debe ser muy refrescante por la suavidad del viento húmedo de la playa.
Debido a todo lo que describes, esos Sanderlings son muy agiles cuando se trata de escapar de lo que consideran una amenaza. Lo mejor del caso, es que se comen a esas pequeñas medusas, no son muy agradables cuando pican nuestra piel... Ellos, los Sanderlings, son animales muy importantes para la naturaleza, ya que ayudan a mantener el equilibrio del ecosistema.
Gracias @agmoore por compartir tu investigación con todos nosotros.
Thank you for stopping by, @maria1989. You are right, these little birds do help to keep the balance of nature. They prey on small creatures and are themselves prey. A vital part of the food chain. Plus they are beautiful :)
It is a pity that they, as is true of many animals, suffer because of habitat loss.
Thanks again for your comment. Have a great week!
