NAM Verbeek 1966 Calidris alba (1) June 4 Along the beach, W of the cavy there were q brids at 23:00 feeding together - the sand. June 5 Spotted two more brids at the same place this morning. at about 10:00. To night at 21:00 there were still two brids. They do not do much else but feed. There are usually some Ruddy Turnstone nearby. 6 June Two pairs feeding on the beach (the disturbed area). One male approached an other male - the same hunched back approach as I saw the Ruddy Turnstone use. 8 June Two pairs feeding on the sandy beach W of our cavy. There were also some (4) Ruddy Turnstones there. 9 June Saw one bird - the company of a pair of Ruddy Turnstones on the east shore of Honey Bucket. All three were feeding on mud. At times it looked as if the Sanderling fed on the same places where the Turnstones fed, after these moved on to the next feeding spot. Perhaps the Turnstones loose the ground making it easier for the Sanderling to get it to the ground. Although I did not see the Sanderling jab a probe, I did notice some mud chinging to its bill about have way for the trip. On the beach, West of Cavy there appeared to be two pairs and a single bird, as well as some Turnstones. 15 June Saw one single bird on the Drum Area and later on a pair. The birds do not appear to have a territory. 16 June Saw two birds, a pair, on the Drum Area. 17 June At about 16:00 I observed a pair of Sanderling feeding along the S. shore of Honey Bucket. The birds stayed close together as they fed among the grasses. On three occasions in my 10 minute observation
