Its Heartening To Know That Not All Species Need P..

It’s heartening to know that not all species need passports and travel visas to experience different countries. Our winged friends, Broad-billed Sandpipers (Limicola falcinellus) have made their appearance at Belawai, Sarawak this year 😍. Thank you Daniel Kong @Malaysian Nature Society Kuching Branch for this amazing shot last February!

Do you know? Some shorebirds are migratory birds. The birds behave differently at different tidal times:

.

1) Low tide: when the tide recedes, they move out to feed and disperse along the shore, until most of them were nowhere to be seen.

.

2) Incoming mid-tide: the rising water starts to push the birds inward towards the beach area.

.

3) High tide: roosting time for most shorebirds. Different shorebird species have different preferences for roosting sites, ranging from sandy to rocky sites, tidal marsh, and mangroves.
