splendid photo of these beautiful plovers, Peter, showing those magnificent breeding colours, top class, many tfs!!
I'm really surprised that even in the UK these birds can be hunted, sounds more like a French situation.

What a gorgeous capture of this group, Pete.

It's disgraceful that they can be shot.
