Got a brutal swooping from a plover yesterday and I’m still in fight or flight. My dog and I were minding our own business walking at the same oval we go to everyday, and it flew from an adjacent oval to swoop us! Chased us all the way back to my car!

Currently trying to gas myself up to walk my dog again today but I’m traumatised. Has anyone else had a plover encounter this season?

EDIT: I mistakenly wrote hooded plover: it was a masked lapwing (spur-winged plover). Have updated name in post now!

I got order confirmation on Tuesday but no other info or anything from the venue where the listening party is. I’m confused now about whether I actually have a spot or if I’m just in some sort of ballot and need to get invited!
Also wanting to know bc the details on the website say 5pm which seems suuuper early for a Friday!
