The animals eat the eggs of wading birds including dunlin, lapwing, redshank and snipe. |
Watching from the Breydon Bridge observation hide at high tide, I suddenly became aware of hundreds of dunlin taking wing and climbing high above the saltings. |
For some shorebird species, such as willets and dunlin, we had diet data from BBH, although diets for several other species at this site are unknown. |
Next day in the same general area where winds had driven water on the sand, four semipalmated sandpipers were feeding with dunlin. |
The possibility of arctic birds like the red knot and the dunlin disappearing from Scotland's shores is yet another symptom of a sickening planet. |
Suddenly hundreds of lapwing, redshank and dunlin all took wing, rapidly climbing high above the flooded flats. |
