It also changes directions in a very abrupt manner… On having ascertained that the prey is below the mud surface, the bird would then jab it’s long up-curved bill into the soft mud, turning and twisting it as it searches for tiny crabs.

Terek Sandpiper Xenus cinereus & Little Stint Calidris minuta in Krishna Wildlife Sanctuary, Andhra Pradesh, India. The Terek Sandpiper likes to associate with Ruddy Turnstones (Arenaria interpres), smallish calidrids, and Charadrius (but maybe not Pluvialis) plovers; a vagrant bird at Paraty (Rio de Janeiro state) was noted to pair up with a Spotted Sandpiper (Actitis macularius). Thus it may be that the Terek Sandpiper under natural conditions may mate with A. hypoleucos, the Old World sister species of A. macularius. More
