Thank you to all who take the time to Comment/fav etc Always appreciated.
Never saw one perched off the ground. The hunters were out in the fields. Think the birds know if they get to the gates, they are safe.

I saw this group of Ring-necked ducks at Commonwealth Lake yesterday. I had heard that some folks have seen a golden eye there; although I didn't see it, I was happy to see these!
Thank you for viewing, commenting on and faving my photo!

My first migratory duck shot of the season - always exciting.
The storm water ponds and lakes in parks and neighborhoods here are the first to open up and provide a landing place for the early arriving migrating waterfowl giving them a place to rest and feed before the melt of the natural lakes in this area and farther north.

Munching on what I think might be a snail. Taken in fading light on a small partially frozen-over pond where a few ring-necked ducks have been showing up around this time for the past several years. Without a better spot to hide, I stayed flat on the mud at the edge of the pond for quite a while, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible, but this was about as close as any of them came. Still a pretty big crop.

The Rose-ringed Parakeet Parakeets have now also reached my hometown. Last summer I saw (and heard) them for the first time in our neighborhood. This week they came by regularly,

I was lucky to see the UK's only naturalised parrot - The Ring-necked parakeet, he was popping in and out of a whole in the tree. Apparently they became established in the wild in the 1970's after a captive birds escaped or were released.

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.
