Golden Plover Pluvialis apricaria on burnt Heather moorland with new growth, bathed in evening light.
I spent several days with these birds and their youngsters, plus several other species whilst working on them. Lots of new images on my other web pages.

Something I have often seen, but never managed to capture. I love those dark moorland colours in the background.
