Little Ringed Plover #53

Today we took a short drive to Lunt Meadows in an effort to give my back some exercise as I thought it might help. I don’t think it did, as my back is now painful but in a different area....
I’ve not really had many issues with my back, but just recently it has been more problematic than ever. I don’t think it’s anything serious, at least I hope it isn’t. As we have the weekend upon us, and we don’t normally venture out, I’ll try harder to rest it if I can get comfortable. 

Anyway, the walk at Lunt produced a species list of 48 birds, which I think is the most we’ve seen here before, and that didn’t include the buzzard, kestrel, wren or sandpiper that we saw last week. So it’s a real gem of a place for birding, if not photography. 
Today’s blip is the little ringed plover which was quite heavily cropped as it was a long way out. They also have the common ringed plover, that we saw last week, but they must have been hiding today :)

I’m turning off my comments for a while until my back is better, as I really feel bad for not getting around to reviewing your journals and commenting on them as normal.  

Keep on staying safe people.
