Terek Sandpiper
276) Terek Sandpiper
Terek sandpiper, Xenus cinereus, Kedidi Sereng
It is named after the Terek River which flows into the west of the Caspian Sea, as it was first observed around this area. Slightly larger than the common sandpiper at 22–25 cm length, its long upcurved bill , somewhat reminiscent of an avocet's, but not as strongly curved – makes it very distinctive. It feeds in a distinctive and very active way, chasing insects and other mobile prey, and sometimes then running to the water's edge to wash its catch.
Kedidi Sereng punya paruh yang unik menyebabkan ia boleh dibezakan dengan burung kedidi yang lain apabila duduk dalam kumpulan yang sama. Seperti waders lain ia boleh dilihat di kawasan muara berlumpur mencari makan dalam kumpulan besar bersama kedidi spesis lain.
Exif: f8, 1/1000, ISO 640, focal length 800mm, Cik Canon EOS 50D, lens Canon 400mm, TC 2.0, tripod
