Another photography masterclass today, this adult American golden plover was on the causeway at Seaforth Nature Reserve. It's a cracking bird, moulting from summer plumage which it still largely retains. Unfortunately without a permit I had to view through the fence from Crosby marina, against the light and facing into the wind, with a heat haze, it's a miracle that I got any kind of photo.
The completely grey underwing helps identify the species, Eurasian golden plover has white auxiliaries.
