The boundary between the mudflat and the retreating marsh is a unique environment. |
In extreme situations, storm waves will cause abnormal changes on a mudflat. |
Their bills and long legs are well-adapted to feeding on a mudflat for those organisms that bury themselves in the soft mud. |
Submerged vegetation consisted of dense beds of eelgrass or green algae which occurred on intertidal mudflat habitat. |
The resulting indentations are channels for incoming or outgoing tidal water and may change the structure of the mudflat at that location. |
Rather like an egret on a mudflat, he prowls around on his long legs with a sort of startled stillness. |
