These chicks of the Spur-winged Plover are only a couple of days old. They start to feed themselves a few hours after hatching. The nest is made on a bare patch of ground so the chicks are camouflaged with spots and so it can be quite difficult to see them until they move.

thanks Leuba. I took this one out of the dining room window with a zoom lens!
They are so cute !! You never get to have such a close look at them because of the parents. Great shots - well done Pam. They must feel so secure around your patch.
