Hi

Saw a reasonably sized flock of these at the radar station end of Clee Hill in Shropshire, UK.

Are they golden plovers?
Do you think they migrate this way all the time - or were they blown off course - it was very windy!

Thanks Julie

Flocks can be found wintering a couple of counties further south in Gloucestershire, both at Slimbridge WWT and in the Cotswolds. :)
