Lovely image, great eyes here. You must be shooting from a low slung Ferrari to get this lovely vantage point...

Little ringed plover - Lesvos at a guess

Nice shot, good whites. perhaps the head could have been above or blow the white blob but that's minor.

Looked very long and tapered at the back end for a LRP and was expecting something more exotic from Lesvos
