Re: PESO x 2: Bird & Buck
We have several plover varieties in the states - the piping plover on the east coast is endangered.. western snowy's are threatened (or maybe the othe way around)but their eyes and beaks are less colorful than yours... cloes to killdeers, Paul, yes... hard to get sharp shots of them the dash about so - you managed it nicely! ann On 9/9/2018 9:02 AM, Alan C wrote: Thanks for that, Paul, Yes, apart from the red beak the Killdeer is remarkable similar.

PESO x 2: Bird & Buck
I went for my weekly drive to Sable Dam this afternoon. Very hot & dry. Hardly saw anything (2 Giraffe, 2 Elephants, some Dassies, 4 Kudus & a few birds - not a single Impala). Sable Dam is still about 40% full so should last out to the rains which are only about 2½ months away. Here are shots of a Three Banded Sand-Plover on the edge of the dam & a browsing Kudu Cow (scroll right) just inside the Phalaborwa gate: https://www.flickr.com/photos/wisselstroom/43642504485/ K5 & HD 55-300.
