Common Name- Pacific Golden Plover
Scientific Name- Pluvialis fulva

Location- Farquhar inlet. Old Bar

Post Production- Crop and edits in LR classic

Notes-Not sure why the plover was getting excited with what looked to me like a bit of seaweed, it did catch a real beach worm a short time later, but at the wrong angle to where I was laying.
