Thornwick Pool, Flamborough - 31st July 2023

 

Little Ringed Plover / Dunlin Interaction

I observed the Little Ringed Plovers mating at Thornwick Pool, then on their scrape nest, so I thought I really ought to see three juveniles. The LRP's were well spread out and it took a while to see all three juveniles and their parents. Four Dunlin were also on the pool, much to the unhappiness of the adult LRP's, with much feisty interaction!
