Thanks for sharing that Steve.  
What a marathon effort to get a meal!

Hi all,
On Monday, on the beach at Evans Head, northern NSW, I saw a pair of Beach Stone-curlews digging up pipis(Donax deltoides) with their bills & smashing them open on a small rock, to eat the insides.
I’m wondering if anyone has seen or heard of this before?
You can see my video on YouTube. 
 
Cheers,
Steve McBride
