The Little Ringed Plover is a small plover with a distinctive black and white head pattern, similar to the Ringed Plover. They mostly breed on beaches around the coast, Much like East Yorkshire coast l frequent most days. They have also now begun breeding inland in sand and gravel pits along former industrial sites.
Unsure what they are feeding on in such areas. Wonderful sight pretty common.
Not keen on the nasty predatory thief's called Heron gulls.
There is quite a few in this category.
The dunlin is a small sandpiper, which can be found at the coast all year round, preferring estuaries, where it seeks out insects, worms and molluscs to eat. In winter, it feeds in large flocks and roosts in nearby fields and saltmarshes.
Also may have been observing among the company some dunlins, its all quite excitable. This is the most common small wader found along the coast. It has a slightly down-curved bill and a distinctive black belly patch when in its breeding plumage.
You may know l picked up this interest when commuting with Matthew, my late son, its kind of my time with him where l try through tears share a moment. The dead are always with us they say, at the coast ghosts of previous visits glide into my mind. Another place where l feel spiritually aware of past and people of the past is in my favorite place Valetta in Malta.
