Terek Sandpiper We were shooting lesser sand plovers and suddenly this fellow caught my attention!! My friend possess bigger tele(600mm) so I told him to lookat his left we have terek in the flock :-)<br /> This is the Best I could manage in those 3-4 secs with this bird.. <br /> This bird shows little similar beak structure as you can see in Pied Avocets.. A beak Curved upward so that they can wave their beak little lower and catch their prey without any trouble. <br /> <br /> Its beautiful to watch them foraging!!
