Grey Plover at the Salines of Bonanza
September 24 2011
Dear reader!
It was not only the American Golden Plover whom I was able to study for hours, but also its arctic relatives, the Grey Plover presented themselves surprising trustfull and I just enjoyed to watch them in the middle of the flock of Waders the whole afternoon, very well aware that this extraordinary scenery wouldn't be repeated every day. 
This Grey Plover- still in full splendour of its summer plumage - hardly cared about its American relative
Hungry from …
… the long journey from its summer habitat …
… in the high North …
… its only thought was …
… to refill its reserves again:
" "How could I find these long worms all others are getting?"
"I'll try my luck here!"::
But this place wasn't ideal at all and …
… our hungry Grey Plover is flying a little further:
And really, there it got something, but immediately gets straitened by an as well hungry Mire Crow
Finally! It caught such a big worm and swallows it in no time! 
Best regards
