Mr & Mrs and 2 chicks

Here are my new find, both very protective so couldn't get too close today. I saw they have two chicks although I could only get a photograph of one of the two. They are surrounded by fence on three sides so they only have one side of their territory to protect so i hope this gives them a fighting chance. i'll go back next week and see how all are getting along.

a second pair

while out for a jog thiseveing (thats a mugs game!) I have spotted another pair of plovers and they have chick so expect to see some photos soon. Dive bomb style attacks permitting as i don't want to stress them out too much.

Cotton II?

Sadly the Plover and baby have disappeared, it was early in the season. After 2 weeks with no sightings at all a new pair have moved onto my local piece of real estate and seem to be getting familiar with the ground. I'm hoping that there may well be a Cotton II to report on soon, watch this space...

Cotton Week One

I noticed this little chap just a week or so ago, tucked underneath mum so I've decided to watch him/her grow up and share this with those interested. These are the first photos with 'Cotton' at probably about a week old
