Dotterel on Geal Charn

[Bean]

First ever Dotterel (Female) - didn't even know what it was before we saw this one.

Seen on Geal-charn.

See my walk report for other birds we saw that day.

Nice photo. I was lucky to see one for the first time too, up Glen Doll.

Nice bird, good job with the photo!

Beautiful photo. I'm really envious: after many walks in pretty remote places I still haven't seen one of these. My Dad used to say how incredibly unconcerned the are by folk, and how close you can get to them.

I've only seen the one myself - On the southe Etive ridge somewhere, they are best seen when they have chicks or eggs as then they do their funny little dance to lead you away - beautiful..
Saw a ringed plover doing the dance this weekend near Macdui - I thought it was odd because surely a little late for those shenanigans?
