Lovely Plover!!! o:) :t: Now you've posted this picture you can link it to your new thread in the ID Forum, I'm sure the experts guys there will tell you easily what kind of Plover this is. It doesn't look like a Grey Plover to me, more like a Golden Plover of some kind... but I don't know which ones can be found in your area...

Cheers! B :)

And many thanks for finding and your words in my Goldfinch, very much appreciated!!!
 
Beautiful shot! I cast my vote on Pacific Golden Plover too. I have the chance to see a few of them last year.
