Chased by an incoming wave

These Sanderling had followed the receding wave down to the bottom in pursuit of Emerita analoga but were then overtaken by a new incoming wave. This gets them running and flying up the beach toward the top of the wave-washed zone.

Part of the minute-by-minute routine of a Sanderling feeding on Emerita analoga in the wave-washed zone.
