A Little Ringed Plover flying by at @WWTSteart this morning. These birds are fast movers and with a body length of 14-15cm they are a tad small. The trick to photographing them is to wait till they fly around in circles which they seem to do at the start of the breeding year!!!

A living willow screen has recently been planted near the Polden Screen by volunteers and the wardens using willow cut from around the site ☀️
Over time the cut stakes and branches pushed into the ground will put down roots and sprout as a new line of trees 🌿
