The little ringed plover (Charadrius dubius) is a small plover. The genus name Charadrius is a Late Latin word for a yellowish bird mentioned in the fourth-century Vulgate.
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.
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.

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!

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.
There seem to be good numbers of Ring Ouzels around this year in the usual places around the Derbyshire edges. I took this image near Burbage earlier today.
The old cash register at Vulture City's last filling station hasn't had a sale in 80+ years as the towns mines were closed during WWII. President Roosevelt shut all none essential mines to concentrate on the war effort. This was basically the end for the fading, isolated town. Mining has started again at the sight, the towns new owners have had to work fast to save as much as they can of the historic property before its gone forever....
The Ring-billed Gull (Larus delawarensis) is one of the first gulls to arrive here and a sure sign of spring in the Edmonton, Alberta, Canada area.
You can observe a slight tinge of red in the neck and breast feathers which is evident of breeding plumage !!

I spent a happy hour or so photographing small waders on the shores of Thornham Point, Norfolk, over the weekend. The best technique seemed to be to find a likely spot just above the line of the outgoing tide, lie on the wet sand and wait for them to come to me.
