[BirdPhotoIndia] Little Ringed Ring Plover - Hunting -I

Common Name : Little Ringed Plover
 
Species Name : Charadrius dubius
 
Location : Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh
 
Date taken : 03 April 2011
 
Equipments : Nikon D90 + Nikkor 70-300mm AF VR Zoom

 

Special Remarks : Their hunting style is a characteristic hesitant stop-run-peck, in a hunched position, usually higher up on the shore on drier sand or mud. They are often observed "foot-trembling", standing on one foot while rapidly vibrating the toes of the other foot on the surface. A few seconds later they run forward to peck at something. Probably, this vibration disturbs prey to betray their presence. ( Source : www.naturia.per.sg/buloh/birds/Charadrius_dubius.htm )
