Red-capped Plover (Anarhynchus ruficapillus)Observer
wamozDescription
This lone bird kept it's distance so only poor images. It moved like an anxious 'hoodie' - run-prop-run-etc - but it was much smaller. Image #2 gives an idea of the difference.
It had a white front and brown back but I couldn't get close enough to see markings.
My initial pick is based on 'Googling', not expert knowledge :-)

Turbo Snails (Genus Turbo)Observer
wamozDescription
My first thought was gastropod but then I remembered otoliths. The latter is possible from what I can see online but I don't think the spiral growth rings fit.
Anyone? ... @rfoster , @ben_travaglini, @mtank, @marinejanine, @streglystendec
