Observation details
A flooded field held unusually high numbers of Marsh Sandpiper, some individuals had bright yellow and red legs. In flock, the birds forged actively, calling frequently and occassionally fighting.. The birds showed moderately tolerant of human presence. After getting flushed by a farmer crossing the plot, the birds settled back after 15 minutes in small flocks.. The first bird inspecting the ground kept on calling, signalling others to join. Later, the birds started to arrive in small groups, all flocks noisy in flight and on ground.
