Birds up close

I finally got a sweet nice shot of a Rose-ringed Parakeet down at a small beach near where we live.

And while bending down,looking for sea glass and turning I looked into the eyes of a Juvenile Grey Plover, not even 3 meters from me.

He stayed put, eying me like a rare species while I eased my camera around my neck and snapped some shots.

He casually strolled away, while King (the Labrador) came tromping down the path.

I am still at awe with this morning.
