Araabia siidhaigur, Egretta gularis schistacea

Araabia siidhaigur uljal sammul endale toitu otsimas. Selline jooksmine ja samal ajal tiibade lehvitamine on nende lindude tavaline söögihankimise viis - potentsiaalne saak (kalad, koorikloomad ja molluskid) üritab selle möllu eest minema saada ja seega peab ennast liigutama ning seda just haigur ootabki. Foto sai tehtud Al Sawadi rannal, Omaanis.

Arabian Reef Egret searching for food on a fast pace. Combining running and flapping the wings is actually the preferred manner for finding a meal for this egret - potential prey (fish, crustaceans and molluscs) is trying to getaway from this rumble and therefore has to move and that is exactly what the bird is waiting for. The photo was taken on Al Sawadi beach, Oman.
