The Ruff…and the beer! Combattenti al Circeo.
During the first decade of March Ruff is one of the commonest and numerous migrant wader along the Latium coast, frequenting salt and freshwater habitats…unfortunately human habitats are not allways “pure” and uncontaminated. Photoes were taken at Circeo National Park (12/03/2012).
Males are readily identified by ornamental head plumes which vary from withe to ginger…here a withish male…
a female…walking in the mud
Pit stop completed…see you next!
