American Golden Plover

This juvenile  American Golden Plover (Pluvialis dominica ), has been present on Davidstow airfield for a couple of weeks now, I first went to see it on the 17th October in heavy rain and howling winds , and went back again yesterday 31st to hopefully get better views and photographs, the weather was better but still the light wasn't great, but the bird showed very well and after a long wait  it started to feed.

I,ve seen a couple of these before but both distantly so one this close was a real treat.
