I love this photo. This Grey Plover was searching the tides for food, as all shore birds do, but stopped a few times to ‘pose’ for me. In this moment I got to make intimate eye contact with this adorable little bird while it was going about its day. The pose this bird is making and the stance of its feet give it a sense of gracefulness, complimented by the baby blue oceanic scene in the background. When I showed this photo to my girlfriend, Maija, the first thing she said was “LIL BALLERINA”, and I couldn’t agree more. This plover exudes grace and elegance, even while performing the menial task of simply observing its surroundings.
