Description
The Spoon-billed Sandpiper is a small wading bird found in Northeast Asia and Russia. It has a distinctive spoon-shaped bill, which it uses to sift through mud and sand to find small invertebrates to eat. The bird has a mottled brown and white plumage, with a streaked breast and a white belly. The Spoon-billed Sandpiper is one of the most endangered bird species in the world, with only a few hundred individuals remaining in the wild. Its habitat is under threat from coastal development, hunting, and climate change. Conservation efforts are underway to protect the bird's breeding and wintering grounds, as well as to establish captive breeding programs to boost the wild population.
