The Hooded Plover is a stocky shorebird, with a grey back and white underside. As its common name suggests, its head is hooded in black, with a thin black ring around the throat, a red beak, and red eyes. It is listed as vulnerable in South Australia, and as a beach-nesting bird, it is threatened by human activities and animal predation.
