Fannnntastic sparrow!  And my favourite little Plover.  I only got my first, and only, crack at getting a shot of one last year - just a pair though.  Funny, I'd always expected them to be bigger in real life - must read the fine print a little better in the Field Guide.  Wow, 200!!   How cool is that!  Did they make much noise as a flock?  Mass RC Plover envy now laugh.

200 is a conservative estimant , just a whoosh as they took off , their so tiny !  I only saw them when a flock of WF chats I spooked flew over them and a few flapped their wings, even at less than 10m they were hard to spot until they moved.

Lovely shot - such a beautiful little bird
