Here are some of my silver rings from my early teens. I’ve kept them as a l reminder of those times, and it was nice to take them out and use them today.
Ringed Plover - Charadrius Hiaticula
The common ringed plover's breeding habitat is open ground on beaches or flats across northern Eurasia and in Arctic northeast Canada. Some birds breed inland, and in western Europe they nest as far south as northern France. They nest on the ground in an open area with little or no plant growth.
If a potential predator approaches the nest, the adult will walk away from the scrape, calling to attract the intruder and feigning a broken wing. Once the intruder is far enough from the nest, the plover flies off.
Common ringed plovers are migratory and winter in coastal areas south to Africa. In Norway, geolocators have revealed that adult breeding birds migrate to West Africa. Many birds in Great Britain and northern France are resident throughout the year.
The ringed plover is a small, dumpy, short-legged wading bird. It is brownish grey above and whitish below. It has a orange bill, tipped with black, orange legs and a black-and-white pattern on its head and breast. In flight, it shows a broad, white wing-stripe.
They breed on beaches around the coast, but they have also now begun breeding inland in sand and gravel pits and former industrial sites. Many UK birds live here all year round, but birds from Europe winter in Britain, and birds from Greenland and Canada pass through on migration.
Population:
UK breeding:
5,400 pairs
UK wintering:
34,000 birds
It's not until next month but my husband and I will be celebrating our 30 year anniversary. I asked him to leave his ring home today so I could practice ring shots, not that I have any weddings lined up. As I have aged my fingers have changed because of a bit of arthritis and though I might sometimes be able to slip my ring on, once the day goes by getting it off can be challenging. If I get it sized to go over my knuckle, I'm afraid will roll around on my finger, anyone else have this issue? How do you solve it? I'd like to wear my ring again.

Species: Turdus torquatus.
Derbyshire, UK.
Ring ouzels are roughly the size and shape of a blackbird. Males are mostly black, with a broad white crescent across the breast and white edging to the wings and some body feathers, which gives them a scaly look. Females are similar, but the black is often more brownish, and the white parts duller. Info: The Wildlife Trusts.
Many thanks to people who view or comment on my photos.
I want people to be overwhelmed with light and color in a way they have never experienced.

Another from a wonderful sunrise last Saturday.
Another blast from the past but this time shown full frame at 2000 pixels. It is one of my favourite images. The scene may look tranquil but the image was made in a storm when gusts were recorded at over 70mph. The background is a crashing wave. The EXIF data will show 300mm focal length (Sigma f2.8 300mm). I used a non reporting 2X Kenko converter so the focal length was in fact 600mm.
