  Eurasian Dotterels
The Eurasian Dotterel (Charadrius morinellus), or in Europe just Dotterel, is a small wader in the plover family of birds.
The Eurasian Dotterel is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.
The term 'dotterel' is a contemptuous label used to describe somebody who is considered to be a doting old fool.

It is a long view that shows the State's first 'chaseable' Dotterel standing in the short-grass pasture with hordes of birders watching it through scopes in the background.
I realize this is not a great photo but nonetheless I like the 'feeling' of the event that it presents.
A closer shot of the Dotterel itself is below left, but it still is marginal; I did not have very good equipment back then.

 Plovers
There are about 40 species in the subfamily, most of them called "plover" or "dotterel".
