Birdwatching In Hong Kong: 5 Rare Birds And Where To Find Them

Spoon-billed sandpiper Although this small wader that breeds in Russia isn’t closely related to the spoonbills, it also has a spatula-shaped beak that helps pick up invertebrates from mudflats. Unlike other birds, it emerges from the egg with a fully formed bill, which pecks at the wet ground rapidly to create a vortex that traps its prey. Sadly, the sandpiper is now a rare sight and is listed as critically endangered due to reclamation and large-scale loss of wetlands and mudflats, which are key to their replenishment during migration, though lucky twitchers have reported occasionally spotting some in Mai Po.

Playing dead really works to help insects avoid being eaten by birds

blickwinkel / Alamy Playing dead might help prey animals stay alive because the tactic leaves predators vulnerable to having their attention diverted elsewhere. Nigel R. Franks at the University of Bristol, UK, and his colleagues were running a study on how the beetle-like larvae of flying antlions ( Euroleon nostras) use grains of sand to build pitfall traps to catch food. They noticed that when they dropped the 12-millimetre-long larvae onto a microbalance to weigh them, the insects would freeze. Advertisement Fascinated, Franks and his colleagues observed the behaviour repeatedly, noting that the insects would stay immobile on the microbalance for anywhere from a few seconds to more than an hour.
