We all have favourites and these are mine a very close 2nd is the Little Ringed Plover- although a lot harder to get close enough to get a decent image

Thank you for your comments

Don't have many LRP in there parts. There was a breeding pair on some wasteland in an industrial site about 10 miles away. The gypsies moved in there with their dogs and stuff and well, that was that.

Im lucky enough to live within the Somerset Levels and see these daily in Summer- not so much in winter
