| Ringed Plovers mating, Charadrius hiaticula |
I wandered along the beach yesterday evening and heard the unmistakable tweet of a Ringed Plover. Looking around I spotted one standing stationary watching me. A dog walker walked by and when I looked for the plover it had gone. I then saw one flying along the beach below. Another appeared on a pebble ridge where I could photograph it. I lay down on the pebbles, focused my lens then noticed another approaching it. They met and suddenly the action commenced. An amazing experience which lasted two minutes.
