So small, yet so brave - a photo on Flickriver

I love these little birds, despite being about the size of a sparrow, they will challenge anyone who gets to close to their egg. Laying an egg amongst the pebbles, they are almost impossible to spot.

Thanks for stopping by, comments are much appreciated.

I am also on Facebook, come and Like my page as the more the merrier :)
