Rob Jutsum took this photo of a Little Ringed Plover at Sherpa Marsh on 22 April.

The latest Devon Bird Report (for 2007) tells us that LRPs are rare breeders in Devon, otherwise scarce passage migrants in both spring (mostly April) and autumn, when mainly juveniles pass through the county in July and August.
