  4. Bob, estas fotografías del chorlitejo son bellisimas. El ave queda perfectamente recortada sobre el cielo realzando su belleza y el color de los líquenes de la roca le sirven de complemento. Un abrazo de Miguel.

    Bob, these are beautiful pictures of the plover. The bird is perfectly silhouetted against the sky enhancing its beauty and color of the lichens of the rock will serve as a complement. A hug from Miguel.
