| Three Meds, including the regular green ringed German bird (ANLT) Their behaviour is different on these low neap tides, on spring tides the experienced birds fiercely defend their own patch of sandmason worms, the same patch each day. On neap tides they only seem to catch the worms in shallow water, then just rest peacefully together. |
