Well I eventually caught up with this super looking plover this afternoon at the 3rd attempt!
I was a bit lackadaisical last week and kept thinking I'll pop up to Davidstow on Monday when it's quieter. (Shows I lack the true credentials to be a twitcher).
I went up on Monday and along with about half a dozen others couldn't locate it.
So yesterday I saw that it'd been recorded again so popped up in the afternoon and again couldn't see it.
When I got home I had an e mail from Brian Craven who I'd chatted with up at the airfield and he told me it was lurking near a pool in the centre of the runways.
So today after doing all the shopping we took a drive up there again and lo and behold I came straight onto it with not another soul about.
The lighting was a bit low but for Davidstow that was GOOD!
Not too sure that my carbon footprint has been good for this bird but always a treat to see such an attractive plover.
In the final image you can see areas of golden plumage on the head, back and rump as it stretched it's wings.
