Pied Oystercatcher eating a Soldier Crab
Observation details
Pied Oystercatchers and Bar-tailed Godwits were feasting on Soldier Crabs by moving close to a group making them dig themselves in, then moving in and probing the sand for the crabs, eating a few that they found before moving after another group. The first group would then re-emerge only to be threatened again when the birds chased them down again
