Hooded Plover (Thinornis rubricollis)

Almost missed it on blustery late afternoon along Thirteenth Beach area, near Barwon Heads, Victoria, Australia.
Finally spotted as it moved to look at something overhead.

What a lovely find - these little plovers can be so hard to spot on the beach, can't they!!

You've got a lovely picture of a bird we don't often see coming in here - many thanks Ruby.
