Bird 8. Dunlin.
Don't tell the other birds but my favorite group of birds is the shorebirds group. They use that long bill to probe mud for bugs to eat. They are also SUPERPOWEREd BECAUSE their bill is so sensitive they can find bugs via TOUCH! They can forage at NIGHT!

It was Plover Appreciation Day yesterday. Shorebirds are my absolute favourite, Plovers are an incredible group amoung them. Here are some of my Plover illustration from the past 10 years (Dotterels are called Plovers in Hungarian, so I've included them).
