I caught this goregeous little Sand Plover (sandlóa) today. We are trying to get the male for marking but the female got into the trap. They are so funny trying to lead you away from the nest by pretending to have a broken wing, clever littla creatures. They also didnt like having the trap over their nest and kept walking around it, circle after circle after circle and by the end we had to give them a chance, took the trap away so they could lay on their eggs in peace for few hours. We will go back tonight and try again :)
