I picked up a juvenile Little Ringed Plover feeding alone in a small splash close to a large flock of Dunlin/Ringed Plover. It did not associate with the flock and after about a minute it took off calling and joined a group of about 10-15 birds in flight. It eventually peeled off with what I presumed was a Ringed Plover and both flew high and west. When looking through my very poor shots of the LRP I realise that there were in fact two birds!
