Habitat
They live in wetlands, riverbanks, bogs, marshlands, mudflats, salt-lakes and fresh-water lagoons.
They prey on invertebrates.
They run along the lagoons looking for food continuously submerging their long beaks in the water and the mud, often in the company of black-tailed godwits.
They are difficult to be seen as they are not abundant. They only nest in the north of Spain. They are customary visitors in the lagoons of the south of the peninsula.
