Sweet photo of this rare plover Tom :cool: I like the motion of this photo along with that cool water drop on it's bill. A nice view of the eye is more visible in the large version.

I really like this one, especially the water drop at the end of the bill.

Wonderful photo of a beautiful plover. Colours are rich and the water drop on the beak is a nice touch. :toast:
