Wow!<\/p>\n<p>But best of all &#8211; was the trip to the moor where we saw this absolutely magical golden plover with her chick. That is a life highlight. The chick sadly disappeared from the scope by the time I looked, but I&#8217;m sure a saw a yellow blob that must have been the chick. <strong>So thanks so much Ian Cole for allowing me to use your beautiful photo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An astonishingly wonderful and fun week with excellent tutors, Prof Mark Whittingham and Tom Cadwallender.
