Observation details
Large, long-necked, long-legged shorebird with a distinctly thin up-curved bill. Non-breeding adult with whitish/off whitish head. White underparts, bold black and white pattern on back and wings. Legs pale bluish. We observed it for almost all of the observation time. We got to see it foraging for aquatic invertebrates by sweeping its bill along the waters surface, occasionally lunging at prey items. It was a treat to observe this beautiful shorebird in action.
