Plover at dusk             Fergus Gill (United Kingdom)

    该照片为11-14岁组高度推荐作品。该种鸟在我国常叫剑鸻，而在台湾常叫环颈鸻。栖息于河岸沙滩、沼泽草地上，以蠕虫、昆虫、软体动物为食，兼食植物种子、植物碎片。

While photographing one evening on a beach on the Isle of Luing, Scotland, Fergus encountered a ringed plover that seemed far more approachable than normal. ‘I soon realised why,’ says Fergus. ‘It had a tiny chick, which couldn’t have been more than three days old.’ Watching from behind a large slate dyke, Fergus saw the plover parent gather the chick under its breast to keep it warm. ‘Though a beautiful sight,’ says Fergus, ‘it didn’t make a great photograph’. Then he saw the other parent posing on top of the slate stones, the setting sun behind it. ‘This was what I was looking for,’ he says. ‘The bird had a lovely halo around it, and the black rocks were burnished with gold.’
