[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Spanish]
This species breeds on sandy coasts and brackish inland lakes, and is uncommon on fresh water. It nests in a ground scrape and lays three to five eggs.

The Kentish Plover is 15-17 cm long. It is smaller, paler, longer-legged and thinner-billed than Ringed Plover or Semipalmated Plover. Its breast band is never complete, and usually just appears as dark lateral patches on the sides of the breast.

The legs are black. In flight, the flight feathers are blackish with a strong white wing bar...

Hi Vicma. This is such a cute little bird. The Kentish Plover looks like its try ing to hide its head. You have taken it with fine detai land natural colours. I like the stones on the sand and the heat haze in the BG. well done TFS.

Hola Victor.
Muy hermosos los colores suves y bien definidos de la foto. El angulo desde donde se logro la imagen no puede ser mejor, y el fondo difuso que le da el telefoto hacen una muy buena combinacion.
Saludos Victor. Un abrazo a toda la familia.

Simple and wonderful, Vicma!
Nice focus and great DOF.
Congratulations, my friend!

Abraços,

Hi Vicma.
I like how well you have reflected the bird's mood. It is simply touching. Pictured scene is also nice. I like impressive sharp FG and nice blurred and remote BG. Details of the bird are superb too and composition of the picture is perfect. Kind wishes and TFS.
Alexei.
