Schiefersee (2.495m)
The Schiefersee belongs to the upper Spronser lakes. So it is to be feared that I'll torture you some more with pictures from this tour 😉 Enjoy a hopefully relaxed and sunny weekend ☀️
Sorry, had to correct the name of the lake 😉 this is not the Milk Lake 😄
The Spronser Lakes (German: Spronser Seenplatte; Italian: Laghi di Sopranes) is the largest group of high elevation lakes in the Alps, located in South Tyrol, Italy. Here you can find some information:

In the Valley of Villnöß in South Tyrol in northern Italy.
Handsome plover with a gentle, dove-like face. Breeding plumage distinctive, with bold white eyebrow, white breast band above rusty-orange belly with black center. Nonbreeding plumage buffy overall, with whitish eyebrow and breast band. A bird of dry upland habitats: breeds on moorland and tundra; migrants occur in fields, on golf courses, and mountaintops, at times in small groups, especially in spring. Often rather tame, but inconspicuous. (eBird)

This brightly coloured bird is a female Eurasian Dotterel at her nesting site on the tundra of Lapland, Finland. She is much brighter than her mate, because once she lays her eggs, the male takes over incubation and she is free to roam and perhaps to mate again.
