Lovely shots - thanks for sharing!

In Europe, our Dotterels (Eudromias morinellus) winter in North Africa and fly to highland regions in Northern Europe to breed - In Lancashire where I live they usually stop-over around May 1st on Pendle Hill on their way to Scotland.

The interesting thing about our Dotterels is that the female has the brighter plumage while the males are quite dull. Are yours the same?

This is my best to date (Just realised it's 2006!)
