On this day (May 20th) ... 2013 Golden Plover

Probably the last local wader for the month. On May 20th 2013, this dapper Golden Plover made up for the lack of any Dotterel...

Inspired by yesterday's sighting of Dotterel on farmland (which was not found after a late afternoon search) I thought I'd give the Longmynd yet another try?  Despite some heavy overnight rain, VP had nothing to excite so I headed up to a 'cloudy' Mynd.....

I gave all the usual areas a good grilling and the only highpoint was movement which I thought was..... No, not Dots but at least it was the next best thing up there at the moment - two gorgeous Golden Plover sporting their summer finery.......







Maybe more to come but these are probably representative? Oh well, Dots another year?
