A bit of a story and yes a lot of birds do this for sure. I've got shots of other birds doing the same thing and you've probably seen it as well. So these are seashore Kingfisher and go after small crabs at low tide. After watching these for years, what they do is to bring up the pelet they can't digest with crab shells, sand, etc. They do this at after around 7-9 small crabs. Tell tale sign is when they stay on a perch for a long time without going out on the hunt, then the head and neck starts to move and the beak opens, so it does become predictable and plenty of shots of this action. So what goes up, must come down, but sometimes, just sometimes, what goes down must come up So a bit boring, but there ya go. Have a good one out there. Danny. |
