It should have woken up early!  Amazing shot!

Thank you very much  Akira

I was very lucky with this shoot the bird stays for a couple of minutes on the same branch maybe it needs to show the catch to others, seeking company, before eat the spider and leave

Nice photo. During breeding season, the birds confidently expose themselves, trying to attract attention, so as not to reveal the location of their nest.

Exactly
These special moments we photographers find the time to  approach and shoot
Thank you Arturo

The Plovers (Charadrius) have a fascinating way of causing distraction by acting as if wounded/having a broken wing to protect the nest. A friend and I observed this behavior at a shore - he was out to test his Z 180-600 and got quite close to a Plover and had plenty of time to get some nice images. It turned out we were quite close its nest and their eggs are well camouflaged and blends with the pebbles on a beach. Luckily we didn't step on them - seems the distraction worked.
