Although a wader, it has webbed feet so is also quite happy swimming as it looks for food which it does be sweeping its long upcurved bill from side to side looking for aquatic insects, crustaceans, worms and other small creatures. Living throughout temperate Europe and Western and Central Asia, they prefer brackish or saline wetlands, estuaries and other such areas where insect life is prevalent but they will also feed on exposed mudflats. The bird is the emblem of the RSPB.
