My wife, son and I had great looks at the plover late this afternoon. We left the bird with Bill Pranty and John Greenlaw at around 6pm. It was actively feeding on Fiddler Crabs. It chased away Wilson's Plovers several times.
It was nice seeing the Gull-billed Terns hawking Fiddler Crabs. We watched a Whimbrel fight off a Gull-billed Tern for a Fiddler Crab and win, pretty cool!
A word of caution, it took us an hour and a half to get into the park when we arrived at 3pm! Perhaps this only happens on weekends. I guess entering the park early or after around 5pm is the best time.
