american golden plover Dip

I went to elmley marsh in hope of seeing the american golden plover but dipped . But when I got there the chance of some good photos out the car window was good . I soon found a little egret close by and snapped it up .

On the walk back from the hides I spotted some wheatear which made that long walk worth while , my first since the spring cracking birds to see .
