Hooded Plover, Stokes Beach, Australia.
I photographed this wonderful little fella on a recent trip to Kangaroo Island, just off Australia’s southern coastline.
This small bird, affectionally referred to as a “Hoodie”, is on the endangered list with numbers estimated at around 200 on the island…

A beautiful bird, and some intense coloring around eye and on the beak. Hope this species can be saved.

Quite a feature the ring around the eye…they still number okay, but like many species the threat is there.
