Observation details
Along shore at end of Nine Mile Point. Only shorebird present. Distinct pale back, with black 'spurs' on upper sides of breast. Brown head with thin black line near bill. Upperparts pale brown, underparts white. Legs black. Bill, fine and black. Bird appeared to have injured right leg and was hopping about a lot on one foot. At one point the plover did a face plant right into the sand. Other observers have noted a Merlin about, so perhaps the plover had a close call.
