GW=Golden Plover Weekでしたよね。 15年来通っている田んぼで農家さんに挨拶できて、望遠鏡を覗いてもらい、一緒に #ムナグロ を観察できたのがよかった。 「また来て大丈夫ですか?」と尋ねると、 「どうぞどうぞ。自由にやってください!」 と言っていただけたので、今後も観察を続けられそう。 大事にしたい場所。 農耕地での探鳥、気を使えない人が出入りするようになると制限も増えるし、実際そうやって鳥を見れなくなってしまった場所も知っているだけに、公園などの場所よりも場所情報の扱いは慎重になるべき。 こういう大切な場所を持っている人なら、ネットに書いたり、ペラペラ喋らないと思うけど。 自分の場合、友人知人に教えてもらった場所は基本的に本人がいない場所で人に喋らないし、自分の足で見つけた場所は大切しにしたいし…で人に言える情報をそんなに持っていないのが常だったりする。 自分も含め、誰しも鳥に、人にと迷惑をかけてしまうことはあるけども、気遣いを持ってバードウォッチングを続けられる環境を残していきましょう。 #goldenplover #OM1 #OMSYSTEM #MZUIKO #mzuiko150400pro #wildbird #birdphotography #オリンパス #OLYMPUS #OM #野鳥 #野鳥写真 #birdsofjapan #菅原貴徳 #木々と見る夢 #図解でわかる野鳥撮影入門 #あした出会える野鳥100 買ってね〜📗

Brace yourself for a fair amount of black grouse content over the next wee while 😂 . I was very kindly invited to the #whymoorlandsmatter event, held down at Baldersdale last week. A really interesting couple of days speaking to some incredibly knowledgeable folks in the upland/moorland sector about upland land use, grouse moors, heather burning, wading birds, farming, and the direction of policy in these areas. . I found it insightful to speak to people who were predominantly working down in England, as I obviously live and work within the Scottish context. As always, there are similarities and contrasts. In some respects, in Scotland we are perhaps 10 years ahead (sometimes but not always in a good way). . It was absolutely charming to see and hear so many waders, grouse and passerines. I realised I hadn't heard a curlew calling for a long while. It's a sound that was the background of my childhood growing up on Orkney. If we choose a course of action and land use that leads to us losing them, then we'll suffer a spiritual loss, not just a biodiversity one. . #countrysidewriting #communication #wildlife #wildlifephotography #blackgrouse #birds #birdwatching #ruralissues #waders #lyrurustetrix #tetraotetrix #curlew #lapwing #goldenplover #redshank #snipe #farming #moorland #grousemoor #grousemoordebate #heathermoorland

I had a lot of fun playing with these colors last week, and I finally had a chance to see how they look dry when I picked them up a few days ago! I LOOOVE speckles so much, so of course I added speckles to a green skein, and put speckles on my own color! 😋😋😍 I named the blue color “Kelp Forest” and the green color “Golden Plover” (look up baby golden plover pictures to see why!! 🐣🌳🪺) I can’t wait to use these colors, they’re both so beautiful! 😍

I got a little visit from an old friend recently when this migrating American Golden Plover appeared in the farm fields near my home. His destination? Arctic tundra breeding habitat. Is it a sign I should head North again? Hmmm, stay tuned. Big thank you to the Biden administration for strengthening protections for America’s Arctic Special Areas, and happy day late Earth Day! #goldenplover #americasarctic #fieldsketching #birdartists #mainebirds

SUMMER AHEAD! These last days, we finally enjoyed warmer temperatures - on land and at sea. Most of the snow in town has melted and a spring-like feeling caught us all. At the same time, from one day to the other, more and more migratory birds returned. Among them, also the golden plover. In Icelandic folklore, the arrival of the golden plover is announcing the end of the winter and a sign that summer is about to start. This bird has been referred to in several poems, with the one below, written by Páll Ólafsson, being one of the most known ones among Icelanders: "The plover has arrived to send the snow away, to banish boredom, she can do that. She has told me that soon the whimbrel will come, sunshine in the valleys and flowers in the fields. She has lessoned me, I sleep too much and don't work enough. She has told me to wake up and work and with anticipation now to welcome the summer." We can't wait for winter to end, the sun to stay, and to welcome all our migratory visitors back to Skjálfandi Bay! Happy Earth Day! Icelandic Original: "Lóan er komin að kveða burt snjóinn, að kveða burt leiðindin, það getur hún. Hún hefur sagt mér, að senn komi spóinn, sólskin í dali og blómstur í tún. Hún hefir sagt mér til syndanna minna, ég sofi of mikið og vinni ekki hót. Hún hefir sagt mér að vakna og vinna og vonglaður taka nú sumrinu mót."

While it may not look like spring in this photo with all of the snow - the European Golden Plover (Heidloa in Icelandic) is a beloved bird in Iceland as it is signals arrival of spring! When the first Golden Plover of the year is sighted, it always makes the news and marks the transition from the cold, dark winter to the warmer and longer days of spring. This trip to Iceland was a family trip and I didn’t use my camera much but I was happy to photograph a few birds along the way including this little guy searching for food in the snow. 🇮🇸❄️ #your_best_birds #planet_birds #raw_birds @canonusa #nuts_about_birds #kings_birds #featherperfection #bird_brilliance #birds_captures #women_wildlife_photography #women_wildlife_ #best_birds_planet #birds_adored #birds_captures #best_birds_of_ig #goldenplover #europeangoldenplover #heiðlóa #plover

I only spotted this flock of about 60 or 70 #GoldenPlover at the drained #swellandsreservoir because they started to skitter about as I mooched nearer to them on the foreshore. I hadn't noticed them when they were stood still, blending in so well as they did with the gritstone rocks, moors grass and peaty reservoir bottom (currently exposed for some remedial works). As always, it's not the best capture and I was pushing the camera lens but their lovely plumage still stands out. #marsdenmoor #marsdenmoornationaltrust #marsdenmoorestate #moorlandbirds

A Golden plover and chick nest on the ground in #AmericasArctic. These diminutive birds build small nests of lichen, moss, and leaves among the grasslands of the tundra. Despite measuring just 4 inches across and less than 2 inches deep, #plovers will reuse nests for multiple years! Ground nesting birds are particularly sensitive to disruption. Protecting our pristine Arctic landscapes is vital to their survival and our global biodiversity.

[FO] Using leftover #hebridean2ply from my Polaris cardigan-vest, I cast on a second Henry VII hat designed by Alice Starmore. Although this version uses many less colors than the original design, I still think it’s lovely. The textured color-work cuff reminds me of medieval jewels. I also added in a few duplicate stitch embroidery accents to make the cuff more cohesive with the rest of the hat. #alicestarmore #goldenplover #spindrift #machair #fairisleknitting #fairisle #strandedcolorwork #strandedcolourwork #knithat #beret #henryviii #duplicatestitch #leftoverknitting

European Golden-Plovers on my beach here in English Point!!! Super stoked! I went to bed last night, tossed up between a ferry ride to the island and a drive to look for Euro vagrants or stay on the Labrador side and drive north for the same reason. After waking up, I did neither, so I could explore, a little closer to home. That worked out lol! Forteau, English Point in particular, never seems to disappoint. It’s incredible to think that I live in one of the most diverse, bird species wise, locations in all of the province, something I never knew growing up here. #europeangoldenplover #goldenplover #europeanvagrants #biglandbirding #labrador #labradorbirding #bird #birds #birdsofinstagram #shorebirds

A Pacific Golden Plover at KCC with its black male breeding plumage forming on its face, chest and belly. Hawaiians call these birds Kolea. This is probably the last I'll see of them until next August. Every year in April, these stately birds fly non-stop from Hawaii to Alaska (that's 3,000 miles of nothing but ocean). There they breed in their territory of the Arctic Tundra over the summer months. Then in August, they all fly back non-stop from Alaska to Hawaii. Some will stay in Hawaii and some will go onward across the Pacific, Asia and Oceania, where they spend the winter months. Every year they repeat this migration. When breeding, males develop black breeding plumage all over their face, chest and belly, so this bird is definitely male and getting ready to migrate to Alaska any day. These birds have very distinct boundaries and are always sensing around them. (Clip attached) A very dignified shorebird that also lives inland in parks and fields. They dabble in the waters of life, but stay above it. A reminder of the changing seasons and life's eternal cycles. 💛🖤 . . . #pacificgoldenplover #pacificgoldenplovers #pacificgoldenploverbird #kolea #koleabird #breedingplumage #goldenplover #goldenplovers #goldenploverbird #arcticbird #arcticbirds #birdsinthearctic #birdofthearctic #birdsofthearctic #pacificbirds #pacificislandbirds #hawaiishorebird #shorebirdsofhawaii #oahubirds #birdsofoahu #hawaiibirds #birdshawaii #birdsinhawaii #birdsofhawaii

As a breeding bird it is probably extinct due to habitat loss. // Ein Goldregenpfeifer. Ein kleines Federbad am Strand.

Speaking of birds that breed in the Arctic Circle (check out the previous post, if you missed it!), the Pacific golden plover mate in Alaska and Siberia during early summer and then fly south for the rest of the year! They have a very wide range, including Hawai’i, Sri Lanka, Somalia, Australia, Papua New Guinea and countless other islands throughout the Indo-Pacific!

Appearance: Pacific Golden-Plovers are medium-sized shorebirds with a distinctive appearance. During the breeding season, their plumage is predominantly black on the underside with golden-yellow speckles, hence the name “golden-plover.” They have a black face and neck with a white stripe running from the forehead to the shoulder. In non-breeding plumage, they are more drab and mottled, with less distinct markings. Distribution: These plovers have a wide distribution across the Pacific region. They breed in the Arctic tundra of Alaska, Siberia, and parts of northern Canada. During the non-breeding season, they migrate southward to wintering grounds in areas such as Hawaii, Australia, Southeast Asia, and islands in the Pacific. Migration: The Pacific Golden-Plover is known for its remarkable migration. It undertakes one of the longest migratory journeys of any shorebird, traveling thousands of kilometers between its breeding and wintering grounds. The migration routes often include stopovers in various coastal and inland habitats. Habitat: During the breeding season, these plovers inhabit open tundra habitats near wetlands, lakes, and coastal areas. In winter, they are found in a range of habitats, including coastal mudflats, estuaries, grasslands, and agricultural fields. Feeding: Pacific Golden-Plovers are primarily insectivorous, feeding on a variety of invertebrates such as insects, larvae, crustaceans, and small mollusks. They use their long bills to probe and peck at the substrate to uncover prey items. Behavior: These birds are often seen foraging actively on the ground or in shallow water, especially during low tides when food is more accessible. They may form loose flocks during migration and in wintering areas. Breeding: During the breeding season, Pacific Golden-Plovers engage in courtship displays, with males performing aerial displays and calling to attract females. They nest on the ground, creating shallow scrapes lined with vegetation. Both parents take turns incubating the eggs and caring for the young.

Lóa (Heiðlóa - Icelandic) but is also known as golden plover. This beautiful bird holds a special place in the hearts of Icelanders as its arrival on the island signals that spring has arrived! I think it was about time to paint this bird and I might ad some more to the collection. This painting already has flown to its new home, but I will paint some more in different sizes. Hand painted with wool fibers! Size 10-12cm on a wooden hexagon frame.

Spring has officially arrived in Iceland. Every year when the European golden plover arrives in Iceland it's declared that spring has arrived. In Icelandic the bird is called Lóa and is said to be the bringer of spring.  ⁠⁠ #Arctic_Exposure #Photographyworkshop #Photoworkshop #Phototours #Photography #photooftheday #workshop #traveltheworld #worldexplorer #explore #adventure #nature #travelphotography #landscapephotography #outdoors #landscape #naturelovers #photographer #discover #Iceland #naturephotography #bird #birds #goldenplover

There is a sense of achievement walking from sea to summit. The hill on the tiny island of Eriskay provides panoramic views over to Barra, Uist and Skye, and with binoculars, I'm certain I can see the croft from the top! Hiking over heather and bouncing over bog, a congregation of golden plover keep me company during the climb. With braided flecks of silver and gold to match lichen and moss, their feathers are a rare and special blend of Harris Tweed. By the time I am back on the sands, a newborn lamb has been born. But I am shocked to see a frisky Eriskay pony chasing them both away. They sprint from its path in the nick of time. Spirits and testerone are clearly high 💚

❗Мал золотник да дорог. 🐦Эту птичку-невеличку увидеть очень непросто. Идёшь, бывало, по болоту и слышишь тоненький голосок: "фьюить-фьюить". А кто кричит, не видно. Налево посмотришь, направо - кругом только одна грязь комковатая, да вода! Конечно, ходят какие-то птички побольше, но и голоса у них потолще. 🐦И вдруг: "Фрррр!!!", - взметнётся вверх целая стая маленьких стремительных птиц. Пронесётся несколько раз кругами над болотами. Удивятся прохожие: что случилось? А это орёл над болотом пролетал, испугал малышей, в воздух поднял. Как будто полет их от хищника спасти может. Полетают они, полетают, и снова на болото сядут. 🐦И вот тут уж можно их рассмотреть: маленькие, аккуратные, выглядят издали, как камушки. Только движутся эти камушки и попискивают, обнаруживая свое присутствие. Называются они #бурокрылая_ржанка или #goldenplover за золотистый цвет оперения. Прилетают пташки в Сингапур за тысячи километров из полярной тундры. Там их дом, там и гнезда. А здесь у них курорт временный. ❓А вы видели таких малышей? Может быть, вы их на севере встречали? This small bird is very difficult to see. You used to walk through a swamp and hear a thin voice: “whew-whew.” And who is screaming is not visible. You look to the left, to the right - there is only lumpy dirt all around. Of course, there are bigger birds, but their voices are thicker. And suddenly a whole flock of small nimble birds will fly up. It will fly in circles over the swamps several times. What's happened? And this eagle flew over the swamp and scared the kids. They fly and land on the swamp again. And here you can look at them. Small, neat. From afar, like pebbles. They are called golden plover.
