Little Ringed Plover and Lapwings - caption needed for one photo

Still very chilly and the wind keeps blowing so another day skulking in hides, today mostly at Murton NR near Forfar. Highlights were a first Little Ringed Plover of the year, Lapwings, Shelducks, a solitary Black-tailed Godwit in breeding plumage, a pair of Shovelers and perhaps sixteen Sand Martins.

All of my captions were too rude, at least that's what Olive said!
