| Comment | This Hooded Plover found the prize of all prizes - a Wolf Spider - and it was doing it's best to swallow it before the others in the flock could have a go at it, as it took several attempts to swallow the spider, with the bird dropping it and picking it up several times. I have selected this photo as it shows a bit of movement but clear detail of the spider (not the Hoodie's normal food source) and with the other Hoodie looking on jealously. | ||||||||||||||||||
