I've Been Wading For You - Chapter 2 – Common Ringed Plover in Action

Описание: Out on the shoreline of Olifantsbos Beach, I lie flat in the sand, waiting for one of the most overlooked but fascinating shorebirds — the Common Ringed Plover.

In this chapter, I explore the art of Slow Birding, introduce my trusty Groundpod (yes, it looks like a frying pan 🍳), and share unforgettable encounters with plovers feeding among amphipods on the tide-line.
It’s not about checklists or colourful feathers — it’s about patience, presence, and noticing the quiet transformations of these incredible birds.

✨ The Common Ringed Plover may be small and subtle, but spend time with it… and you’ll see an entire world unfold.
