Songs of The Spoon-billed Sandpiper No 15: ABBA

They'd wade at standards to be seen by most. The Spoon-billed Sandpiper, who shares wading, to dying, one hundred ten, and counting. Stretched East Asia, Russia through China ... host. They've spoon-shaped bills to help them scoop up moss, insects, shrimp, and worms. They are renowned for their calls, which males fly and sing a rapport, sounds like 'preep' and 'wheer' can stretch it across. Human encroachment on their feeding and breeding wetlands threatens their survival. Predators plague their nest a revival, two decades, numbers dropped by two thousand. The ascension for most and few still greens, a descension of value bows night scenes.
