A ringed plover walks about on a shingle coast, then sits on its well-camouflaged eggs. When David Attenborough approaches, the plover runs away, calling frantically and dragging its wings. It is faking the appearance of a broken wing and even collapses now and then. This is a ploy to lure a potential predator away from its eggs. The plover is trying to look like an easy meal. When the predator has been lured far enough away from the nest, the wing mysteriously gets better and the distressed calling stops. The bird returns to its nest.
