The Running Terek...

A Terek Sandpiper (Xenus cinereus) was caught running in its typical posture while seeking tiny creatures underneath the muddy inter-tidal surface. They are extremely agile and very tough to approach. But most interesting is their hunting behaviour. They change the moving direction in a brisk and catch prey all of a sudden in a burst. Here it was framed in such a sequence of events and I enjoyed it very much from a distance. Pics was taken from Frasergunj sea shore in West Bengal, India.
