March on the line. Strong and geometric.

@sherimiya Thanks! There were better pics with the bird more visible but I really liked the way the lines and the movement were working together here.

LOVE this. The bird, the walking, the reflection, the lines, the sense of calm-- wait, Is this a PLOVER??? Be still, my heart - you can't fly to Japan.

@jyokota I don't know for sure if it is a plover... but it looks like it could be.

@jyokota Yeah I think you're right - but I've no clue what kind of plover... That walk though, it has to be!

@cityhillsandsea - maybe Little Ringed Plover? https://ebird.org/species/lirplo

[cityhillsandsea]

@jyokota Oh yes. That's probably it! And thanks for the link to a very useful website.

@cityhillsandsea I use Merlin ID to identify birds all the time, too. So useful for an interested but uninformed person like me :)

@jyokota Yeah it's fantastic, I had a look through it. Really helpful & informative. Thanks for the tip!
