Two American Golden Plovers, Lunt
Shortly after I left Lunt on Sunday after having seen the adult American Golden Plover, it was amazingly joined by a second bird! I called in today on my way home from work and both were present again. A bit distant but great to see never the less.
Going off the extent of the black on the face I would say that the left hand bird is the first bird and the one I saw on Sunday, however the black bars on the flanks of the right hand bird look very similar to a photo I took on Sunday before the second bird dropped in.
They didn't spend that much time together and this is about the best I could get of the two, on the extreme left and extreme right of the photo.
The first bird?
The second bird?
