Little Ringed Plover


Little ringed plover seen in North Ceredigion. It was almost certainly breeding successfully (previously seen on nest, distraction behaviour) but we did not wait around to look for the young as were very aware of keeping disturbance to a minimum (there were a LOT of Jackdaws around and we all saw what happened on “Springwatch”!). I am withholding the exact location for the same reason.

I enclose the photograph solely to confirm the identification.
