We were birding in the Ebro Delta area before heading to the steppes when we saw this Common Ringed Plover. A prominent white supercilium and no orbital ring are field marks that can be used to identify this species and separate it from the Little Ringed Plover. It was a partly cloudy morning with temperatures in the low 70's.
