Kentish plover (Anarhynchus alexandrinus) pair going around Kalpli Göl lake

Wading, step by step

Pondering the pond

"Was that a crab?"

The only picture of both of them, kinda in focus. They are more skittish than kentish!

In flight

Photographed in Kalpli Göl, Turkey

Plovers are my favorites when I visit the beach.

I remember a few years ago I parked my car at a supermarket in an area that was very empty of cars, as soon as I got out I was attacked by a pair of plovers. Their nest was just on the ground a few metres from my car. I ran to get away and there was a group of workers pissing themselves at my antics. Australian plovers are bastards. Worse than magpies.
