Short Description:

The Curlew Sandpiper (Calidris ferruginea) is a migratory shorebird found in Pakistan during its wintering season. It is typically spotted in coastal areas, estuaries, and wetlands along the coastline of Pakistan, particularly in regions such as Karachi, Gwadar, and along the Indus Delta.

During the winter months, Curlew Sandpipers migrate from their breeding grounds in Siberia to warmer regions, including Pakistan. They can be found along the coastal areas and wetlands of Pakistan, where they forage for food.

Curlew Sandpipers are known for their distinctive long, curved bills, which they use to probe mud and sand for small invertebrates such as insects, crustaceans, and mollusks. They are often observed feeding in shallow water or on mudflats during low tide. These birds are highly social and are often seen in small to large flocks, particularly during migration periods.
