[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Little Ringed Plover (Charadrius dubius) is a small plover.

Adults have a grey-brown back and wings, a white belly, and a white breast with one black neckband. They have a brown cap, a white forehead, a black mask around the eyes with white above and a short dark bill. The legs are flesh-coloured and the toes are all webbed.

This species differs from the larger Ringed Plover in leg colour, the head pattern, and the lack of an obvious yellow eye-ring.

Their breeding habitat is open gravel areas near freshwater, including gravel pits, islands and river edges in Europe and western Asia. They nest on the ground on stones with little or no plant growth.

They are migratory and winter in Africa. These birds forage for food on muddy areas, usually by sight. They eat insects and worms.

The Little Ringed Plover is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.

Ahoj Stefan.
Krásné dva obrázky s tímto pěkným kulíkem.Jak te vlevo s hezkým odrazem ve vodě tak také ta úžasná póza vpravo.To vypadá jako by si tak na sluníčku vysoušel peří.Perfektně zachycené.
Maj sa,Miloš.

Hello Stefan,
Two very fine shots you're presenting here, both nicely in focus showing sharp details and natural colours! Beautiful reflection in the first one and I like the way it's posing in both shots. Brilliant work!
Many thanks, Ulla

Great images of this lovely Ringed Plover, Stefan.
Its yellow-ringed eye is certainly its most attractive feature.
The second picture is a well-timed snapshot with the bird playing around with its wings and giving a glimpse of their shape and size.
Well done and TFS.

Hello Stefan,
Excellent double photo showing Little Ringed Plover (Charadrius dubius). The yellow ring round the eye helps the ID.
Both are sharp and well presented shots.
Well done and TFS!

Hi Stefan

This is a splendid presentation of this lovely species.
I really like both poses and POVs here.
The left one is terrific for the head details and the charming reflection while the right one catches a terrific moment and gives an excellent view for the wings.
Exceptional sharpness in both of them as well as lovely natural colors.

Bravo and TFS
