Media notes
Plover starting a quick wing-flapping run before catching prey. I noticed several times the same peculiar foraging strategy. Once a prey is spotted, the bird starts a quick wing-flapping run but never pounces straight on the prey so as to deceive it and finally performs a sudden curve just before striking. Elevation: 17 m. Date added to IBC: May 6, 2019.
