A trip to Cley Marshes on the north Norfolk coast produced this stunning adult Pacific Golden Plover in full breeding finery. A close relation to the American Golden Plover, but breeds in north Siberia and west Alaska and a rarer visitor to Britain, indeed another `lifer` ticked off.
This video is just a little taster until I wade through the hundreds of dodgy, distant digiscoped images and find something half-decent. Note the two Lapwing in the background having a `set-to`!
Another great tick John. Look forward to the still shots, when I return next weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks Roy, don`t get too excited, you have seen how far away the bird was! ;)

Very nice! Certainly some ruffled feathers in the background :D
ReplyDeleteThank you Omi, yes they obviously didn`t get along, did they!
