Nice one. Bit of a head turn would improve it, but no big deal.
Not bad for a lad ! :wink:

Not too sure about this one, there is nothing wrong technically, but what with the head turn, looks like it is watching you, and that it is walking away, tends to make me think that it is attempting to lead you away from its nest site, Which is typical plover behaviour.

Still an excellent capture of a Golden Plover.

Ray this bird was taken at the side of the road and certainly not at a nest site,thanks for your comment.

Cheers Keith.

That's an excellent shot of a difficult subject. I too would have preferred it to be walking or looking more towards the camera, but I'd settle for this any day.

Lovely picture. No problem for me, that the bird is looking away from the camera. :smile:

an attractive bird, a bit more eye contact would have helped but still a nice shot.
