EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, a Ringed Plover (Charadrius hiaticula) carefully tends to its nest nestled among the pebbles of a remote Arctic beach in Taimyr, Russia. The Ringed Plover is a small, wading bird with distinctive black and brown rings on its chest and back, making it an easily recognizable member of the plover family. This photo captures the typical nesting habitat of the Ringed Plover, which prefers to nest in open, pebbly areas near the water's edge. The parent bird meticulously guards and incubates its single clutch of eggs, which are camouflaged against the pebbles to blend in with their surroundings. The eggs are incubated for around 24-27 days, after which the chicks hatch and are able to follow their mother to the water's edge to learn how to forage for food. The Ringed Plover is a historical species, with records dating back to the 16th century. They are known for their adaptability to various habitats, including sandy beaches, gravel pits, and even urban areas. However, they face numerous threats, including habitat loss, disturbance, and predation, making conservation efforts essential to ensure their continued survival. This image offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of the Ringed Plover and the challenges of parenting and survival in the harsh Arctic landscape. The pebbly beach provides a stark yet beautiful backdrop to this intimate moment in the life of this remarkable bird.
