It was one of those rare 'perfect' mornings when the sun was warm and the air was still and not a soul was about. Curlews called, a Skylark was singing aloft and a few Swifts were flycatching over the beach...magic!
Ringed Plovers seem to be doing well this year with three pairs nesting and two of the pairs with at least two youngsters each. This morning the parents were very anxious as I walked along the beach...

| I was not welcome and soon I could see why as two, almost fully grown youngsters were preening and running around on the beach. |

A pair of Oystercatchers were eyeing me and showed all the signs of having a nest nearby....I will have to observe from afar as they are very nervous birds when breeding.
Time was short and I had a busy 'domestic' day ahead. Hey ho!
