| Comment | I was lucky enough to have a flock of Hooded Plovers run towards me whilst they were busily foraging along the beach, and even luckier to witness at close range, the battle between wolf spider and Plover! Fair to say, the Hoodie won out. I cropped this image to highlight the prey,which in this image looks like a mini octobpus, and as this is not the usual food source of the Hooded Plover. I also like the detail and eye contact with the bird. | ||||||||||||||||||
