Linnu nimi tuleneb sellest, et ta kolabki toidu otsingul mööda randa
ning lükkab muuhulgas nokaga väiksemaid kive ümber. Lisaks sellele
tuhlab ta ka vetikates, kaevab väikeseid augukesi liiva sisse, sondeerib
nokaga pinnast ja toksib vee-elukate kodasid puruks. Eesmärk on leida
erinevaid molluskeid ja muid selgrootuid, kuid söögiks sobivad ka
raiped, putukad, ussid, linnumunad ja erinevad taimeosad. Bretagne,
Prantsusmaa.
The name ruddy turnstone comes from the fact that this bird is often
strolling along the beach and flips over stones and other objects to
get at prey items hiding underneath. Beside that it flicks through
seaweed, digs holes, probes the ground with its bill and hammer-probes
the shells of the prey. The goal is to find different crustaceans
or other invertebrates, but the diet includes also carrion,
eggs, insects, worms and plant material. Bretagne, France.
