JDog Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 This late afternoon I heard the distinctive sound of Golden plover, the first of the season. I eventually saw them quite high up and counted 28 of them. Happily arrived back from their upland breeding grounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
