Interesting birds.

These birds were extremely common when I was a youngst. Sadly tho, over the years their numbers have reduced drastically. I don't know the reason, maybe changes in farming techniques as like many Plovers they are ground nester. They have beautiful iridescent diesel slick colours to them if caught in the right light.
