"Spur Winged Plover". Had to look that one up (https://www.nzbirdsonline.org.nz/specie ... ged-plover). Neat!

Lovely pattern. I especially like the color scheme and profile.

Gorgeous Johnno! I like you description of how to fish this pattern "swung down and across onto feeding fish..." I can see this happening not only down under but just about anywhere trout rise!
Your pattern is so life-like and beautifully tied! What else do you have in your corral?
