Ringed Plover nesting on the spit.

 A quick look at Pagham Spit this evening produced a Ringed Plover on a nest in a very vulnerable position from the point of  human visitors. Initially it was calling and as I watched from behind an old breakwater it made its way cautiously forward and settled down, keeping a very close eye on me.



What a privilege!


Several Little Terns were flying up and down the main channel.

....and then four Turnstones suddenly dropped in right in front of me all showing signs of moving into summer plumage,

A great end to a day !
