Walking alone in the sand, a Ringed Plover in winter plumage. I did not recognice it until I realized it was winter plumage. We never see it like this where I live. About Ringed Plover on wiki

Great photo of an interesting bird. You are fortunate to see shorebirds in breeding plumage. Most of the time they are here they are in total non-breeding plumage.
ReplyDeleteThe plovers are adorable birds, great shot!
