Wee cutie (Anarhynchus ruficapillus)

Finally we got onto the beach proper and it was only minutes before Ken picked out one of his main targets for me.... this gorgeous Red-capped Plover and another Lifer for the day.

I managed to follow him for several minutes while he gradually got a bit closer, but I still needed a good zoom.

He turned nicely for this image, so I could really see his red cap.

A stunning wader and from my all time favourite small wader family - thanks Ken.
