[ExFmem]

As always, thank you to the troopers for your nice comments - Sis, RP Mel, Pumbaa, BC, and Flutts. The encouragement is always appreciated.

Liz - "What did you think that they were eating?" (the Pond Skaters)

I hadn't really given it much thought, but one option would be that they are herbivorous, eating algae, plant debris, decaying vegetation, etc., like Water Boatmen.

Okay, last of the "P"s coming up….

Not much of a pic, but it's all we got of this species, as it moved out of sight very quickly

I have always wondered why the last plover is not called wattled plover

The queleas, both, are marvellous

[nan]

love all the Plovers and even more the babies
again a xmas tree... beautifull

[ExFmem]

I agree, Sis - Wattled Plover would have been a much more obvious choice - perhaps we should research just who named it and give them an Over Thinking Award.

Thanks nan

This warning is for you....and all others with irrational fears

WUSS ALERT!!!

Miniature creatures with the power to make grown men recoil, give women the heebie-jeebies, and turn your usual tranquil dreams into nightmares coming up….

[Flutterby]

Love your quelea pics!

[Bushcraft]

Wonderful pics again

The queleas are fantastic

[Lisbeth]

Send the in, Sis
