    After two unsuccessful attempts during the last weeks to see migrating dotterels, I had more luck today. Came across a little group of 10 individuals. Always a thrill to see these beautiful plovers.

    a rare migrant here. in the 30 years we live in France, I've only seen them a few times. This solitary bird was resting in an alpine meadow, at 2000 m altitude.

    Another of the birds seen yesterday. Six in total were giving very close views at times as they fed amongst the burnt heather. A marvellous experience as they wandered within a few metres totally unconcerned about our presence sat on the heather.

    One of six seen this morning. Varying numbers have been present here the last few days.

    Friendliest dotterel

    This was a particularly friendly dotterel. We spotted it (i.e. it spotted us first, I guess) from 100 metres, and it slowly made its way to us, spending in all some 40 minutes in our company (until we left). It sat on my young son's leg, pecked at his mountain boots... Extraordinary experience...
