As commented on in several old posts (can you tell I like 'em?) Grey Plover feed either as a loose flock or hold individual territories. Visual hunters do better spread out. A competitor chasing around closeby can actually scare prey deeper into the mud. On the edge of Sharps Green Bay one defended patch their patch from a second bird for an hour at dawn. Side to side chases, the owner trying to keep the infiltrator in the water. The dispute was only settled by the tide covering the territory. Getting more competitive out there now.

I've been told not all comments are publishing. There seems to be a problem between Blogger and Chrome, and I'm being told if you have a problem you should try a different search engine.
All a pain in the proverbial. Sorry! I'm a luddite/technophobe (still won't even have a mobile phone) so much else is beyond me..
If still doesn't work, pls send me a DM/post to my twitter a/c @dunnokev to let me know- thanks! Kev 18/12/21
