Hi All, re the reference to this species lying prone on the ground. I was 
watching some Masked Plover chicks that were crossing a road with their 
parents, a dog appeared on the scene, the parents sounded the alarm and the 
chicks dropped on their sides in the road whilst the parents went running away 
from them trying to attract the dog. The chicks laid in that position even 
though a versicle passed close to them and it wasn't until the parents called 
them after the dog had left that they moved. They wasn't very well camouflaged 
on the tarmac but obviously less obvious than running about.
