What a fantastic capture of this gorgeous bird and its 'nest', Brett!! :o) Plovers do pick some amazing, and even stupid (to us!) locations for their 'nests'!! A few years ago Phil was checking out something on the roof of my Dad's house, when he was very noisily warned off by a Spur-winged Plover who had made its 'nest' straight onto the metal roofing!! ;o) Go figure!! ;o/ #8199711Karen Engelbreth December 15, 2009
