This FOTE somehow managed to stick its bill in very unsuitable place.  
Bivalve closed the shell and part of the bill was locked inside. Other terns  
and gulls followed poor critter in hope to get some free meal but the meal  
stay locked around the tern’s bill. Smart FOTE - it tried to wait motionless  
on the ground for bivalve to loose the grip, but no luck. 
 
Short video can be watch here (long periods of motionless posture were  cut 
off)
