Its name betrays a pattern that makes it easily identifiable, it finds food under the pebbles at the edges of ponds, so it scurries around the edges of flooded areas, turning them over and capturing the food. Stubby and medium-sized, it has a black, wedge-shaped beak, orange legs and a black pectoral band that contrasts with the white breast. During the summer, adults\u2019 backs are covered with orange-brown feathers with black patterns. In flight a large white rump and a wing stripe of the same colour are visible. The tail is white with a black band. The summer pattern of the head, with a hood of black striped feathers contrasting with the white of the head, as well as a black eyeline running to the moustache, in winter becomes a less contrasting brown and mixes with the black of the breast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1059,"template":"","families":[27],"places":[16,19,17,2],"affinity_group":[14],"class_list":["post-955","birds","type-birds","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","families-scolapacidae","places-cerrillos","places-coast-line","places-ribera-de-la-algaida","places-salinas-nuevas","affinity_group-waders"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
