Thank you for sharing that, Steve.  It's really interesting to see, and shows the value of video in being able to record behaviours so that they can be shared.

Hi all,

On Monday, on the beach at Evans Head, northern NSW, I saw a pair of Beach Stone-curlews digging up pipis(Donax deltoides) with their bills & smashing them open on a small rock, to eat the insides.

I’m wondering if anyone has seen or heard of this before?

You can see my video on YouTube.
