Diademed Sandpiper-Plover

Phegornis mitchellii
Paso Marcopomacocha, Lima, Peru - 26 november 2019
There is a special magnetic nimbus around the unique and distinct Sandpiper-Plover. Rare in high altitude alpine bogs. It’s on every ones bucket-list, even for those who have seen it before. I saw it in Chile in 2004, but can't get enough of it!
