[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
It's a while ago since I posted my latest Three-banded plover.

The Three-banded Plover or Three-banded Sandplover, Charadrius tricollaris, is a small wader.(wikipedia)

It is one of two plovers in What's up.., the mating Plovers photo. I've been studying whether this is the male or the female. I'm not sure but I think it is the female; between the white line above the eye and white patch on the forehead there's almost no black whether this is no the case considering the other bird. An a posteriori statement through looking at photos.:-)

Wish you a good week...

Hallo Annick,
Gelukkig heb ik nog de laatste puntjes voor vandaag te vergeven, want dit is een brilliante foto. Jammer van die paar lichtspotjes, maar verder echt perfect. Schitterende dieptewerking ook.
Nogmaals tot ziens,
Peter

Hi Annick,
This is such a beautiful bird!
Love that orange eye! The sharpness and details are amazing, great natural colours.
Very well done

Hello Annick,
Fantastic eye that locks in the viewer immediately..
Very good detail/DOF, colors, exposure, and POV, with that bit of reflection adding nicely :)
Very well done,
Howard

That red beak and orange eye ring seem so incongruous with the otherwise neutral toned bird. I love all the detail. Nice work

Hi Annick!

Nice shot. Very exotic bird in good pose. I like its orange colours around eye, detailed feathers, pose. Good work.

Annick, she is certainly a strange looking bird - as all these plovers are. The yellow eye and red eye-make-up seem to clash colourwise, but you show her well. Good lighting and colours

Hi Annick,
Nice close-up of this bird. I like the beginning of reflection on the water and despite the sun, the white are correct. Is it me or the bird missing a little sharpness?

Hi Annick,

A splendid close-up of this beautiful Plover. The eye is a masterpiece. Wonderful sharpness and clarity of the entire bird showing off the beautiful wings and plummage. His feathers are all so perfect it looks like he was just groomed. Beautiful colors, nice setting with the reflections, beautiful pose and the centered composition is lovely.

Annick, this is such a great shot. You captured this very well. Thanks for commenting on my 'Daniel' photo. I hope you have a great day. Bill
