Little?? Pah!  We have a pair of Little Ringed Plovers floating around at the moment and they seemingly can pop up anywhere. Russ Sherriff got some shots yesterday of the male with his gloriously bright fate yellow eye rings.

They are very cryptic and can very difficult to see unless they move.  Our Lapwings took exception to our ones when the dropped in on Purfleet SCrape this afternoon and chased them all over the place!  Hopefully they too will settle down and find somewhere safe to breed.
