Ringed Plover

I cycled to Inganess on the quest for another American vagrant duck- a green-winged teal. The same bird may have visited the spot on the last two or three winters. I found plenty of ducks on the bay but couldn't make out the GWT. It is a drake and has a vertical instead of a horizontal white stripe on the wing but the birds were rather 'roosty' and tucked up. I took some photos and then looked at them on the computer and think I actually got it (extra). The ringed plover were far more accommodating.
