Much of Cley Centre car park is fenced off, with many customers and birders having to use the overflow car park below. The recent heavy rain probably flooded out nests and a pair of Little Ringed Plover decided that the car park surface was a good replacement for shingle.
To-day, we got round to walking to the picnic table mound in order to take some distant photographs. The distance is such that the birds appear to be completely unperturbed. I can't tell them apart but as soon as we arrived, one bird flew into the centre of the area and then, after checking all around, changed places with the sitting bird.
The photographs are of the relieved of duty, sitting bird, who then perched on a nearby log.
