This beautiful Plover runs and darts around the seashore always aware of predators. This bird had a couple of young chicks that were so well camouflaged it was very difficult to spot them. Once I had found them the adults did their best to attract my attention away from the chicks. At one point both adults were performing what appeared to be death-throws - an attempt at saying look at me I'm injured and therefore easy prey. What ingenuity.
