It was a bit of a long post but the photos come after the white stork and Andouin’s gull. (It has the subheading ‘Update on ringed plover sightings') I also saw it in a scrape so the university say it is showing breeding-territorial behaviour which they haven't seen before on Wintering sites. Will have to go back next year!<br /><br />This link will hopefully take you to the right post:<br /> <br />https://coquetnaturelover.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/ria-formosa-rediscovered.html<br /><br />Really enjoy following your blog!<br /><br />Coquetnatureloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17373488097315949265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-48424206856820875272016-10-28T02:19:02.781+01:002016-10-28T02:19:02.781+01:00Hope you've found what you need.

The statue of Peter Pan is on the east side of the leaf yard, adjacent to the Long Water. The Little Owls' trees are on the south side of the leaf yard.<br /><br />You may run into me in the area of the Little Owls' trees around 11.30 on Friday morning.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-66230615838617087392016-10-28T00:53:18.724+01:002016-10-28T00:53:18.724+01:00Hi, I think I have found your detailed location de...Hi, I think I have found your detailed location description some time ago in the internet.

I will spend my last day to do some urban park birdwatching. May I know where is the leaf yard in Kensington Park? Thanks a lot. You can answer me by personal email.

Earlier this month, I spotted a ringed plover in Santa Luzia, Portugal - the same place I saw her two years ago. The university of Iceland has been monitoring this bird since 2010 and she has been seen on the same shoreline in October for the last four years. I put a copy of the records at the bottom of my last blog if you are interested. Quite amazing!Coquetnatureloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17373488097315949265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-79443194358141416712016-10-26T20:45:44.889+01:002016-10-26T20:45:44.889+01:00The Little Owls hardly pay any attention to photog...The Little Owls hardly pay any attention to photographers now, after nearly five years of celebrity.
