A gifted curlew

This Eurasian Curlew probed his elongated bill into the mud flats in Maipo in the morning of November 6th.  He picked up arthropods for his breakfast.  His fifteen-centimeter long decurved bill is a gifted weapon that no invertebrates could fight with.

Hello John, thank you for the identification.  As I can see in my picture, he has caught a crab for his meal.
