I've been photographing them for 25 years. The reason they run from the waves is Not from a fear of drowning or getting wet. They know that a large wave will flip them over and interrupt their hunt for the arthropods tossed up by the ocean. In a completely calm sea, they will wade in the water.
I'm puzzled by the energy used in this feeding style. Do they get enough from each food item to make all that running worth it? I suppose they must do.
So cute! We see them here in San Diego at Torrey Pines. Can’t help but smile when watching them! Thanks for great video...you did a wonderful job! ❤️❤️❤️
Je les vois souvent sur la côte Est des USA ils sont adorables et tellement habiles, ils vont et viennent au gré de la vague cueillant les coquiilages pour se nourrir! :)
Have you seen any this winter? We are missing our Sandelings in Portmouth and have not seen any since Feb 2012. Hope tey soon come back to Eastney Beach.
I saw many over here on the east coast a couple of weeks ago at Sandy Hook, New Jersey just below Manhattan, New York scurrying around North Beach at the tip.
I already commented on this years ago, but I'm commenting again to ask a question: may I use a portion of this video to dub in some funny dialog and post it on my channel? I want to get permission before I just go ahead and use it. Thanks!
@@stuarttingley Finally got around to doing this. Thanks again. This isn't the best dubbing job in the world, but what can you do? I'm by no means a professional. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the effort: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pBtDg0DDpCQ.html
Omg. I wan to know what goes on inside their brain. True flight and fight response. Omg i need food, holy shit don't get wet and taken away from waves........
இந்த சின்னம் பறவை ஆறு குளம் கண்மாய் களில் படையே இருக்கும்.நெல்வயலில் எப்படி வருமாறு தெரியுமா.விரட்டி விரட்டி கால் வலியே வந்திடும்.ஆனால் இரசிக்க வே செய்யும்.சூப்பர்
:) Crustaceans they eat hide in the sand right under the surf line. When wave goes out, they run in and grab all they can find. Then escape the next wave.
