A grey plover with a group

Grey plover with the rest of the shorebirds.

The past 051016 I saw a nice little group of shorebirds in the West side island at Zolina reservoir.

It was a pleasant day with no wind and not to much  sun (good viewing conditions).

In my initial possition I wasn't able to see them, but luckily one of them moved (a great plover) and it made me move to another position...then I discovered the rest of the group having a nap.

They were five great plovers,four dunlins and a grey plover.

This is till the moment the second observation of this bird this year, the other one, was in april and is always a nice one in this area. They appear now and then but almost always solitary individuals.
