Thanks for the laugh,

The red wings are our version of your jackdaws. I saw a lady get dive bombed and it managed to draw blood lol. Now they put signs up by the lake warning people about them nesting.
Here in South Africa the Blacksmith Lapwing, Crowned Lapwing, Fork-tailed Drongo, and Red-winged Starlings will dive bomb humans. First on the list is the worst, coming in swift and close.
Wow I wouldn't have guessed a type of plover would be so violent. Then I just looked up American plovers to see if they do the same thing and there are lots of dive bomb videos lol.
We have enjoyed many an encounter with the plovers here in parks or on the beaches, yes they bomb dive without second thought. Glad you found evidence from your side of the pond.
