Detalhes da observação
Never in my life have I seen so many Hooded Plovers packed together in a single tiny stretch of beach; to think I was impressed enough with the flock of about ten I came across on the way up!!! In all honesty, I wouldn't be at all surprised if there were closer to a hundred Hoodeds camped together in the leas of the little dunes and clumps of beachgrass; their little Penguin colours somehow managed to blend and pop out of the scenery at the same time, as they shifted positions with each other!! Best and most curiously of all, there was a plumage stage I've never come across before in Hoodeds; I've seen the white headed youngsters before, and of course hundreds of adults in my time, but today I got to see an older immature bird for the first time!! The head was covered in very thick and handsome blotches of black, while the colouration elsewhere was still the slightly duller colour of the young birds; it was one of the more sightly Plovers I think I've ever seen!!!
