Aberaeron - Golden Plovers

Re Golden Plover and high tide query 

I have seen them:

a)  on the fields above the path.
b) very very occasionally on the rugby/football pitch by the car park (in really hard weather)
c) also seen flying towards the area above the main road - presumably to roost/feed in a less disturbed place.

They sometimes hunker down just above the tideline but this depends upon the height of the tide (obviously!) and disturbance from walkers/people taking their dog to the toilet
