Pellet regurgitation in shorebirds: photos.

["Robert Inglis" <>]

Hi all,

Like some other bird species many shorebirds regurgitate pellets of 
indigestible material to help clear the gut.
Recently I was lucky enough to be able to photograph an Eastern Curlew 
(Numenius madagascariensis) doing just that.
The sequence of photos can be seen by going to:

Please note that some sensitive birdwatchers may find some of the shots a 
little unpleasant.
And the full size versions of the photos could be called "large" by some 
people.
Cheers
