Little Ringed-Plover in flight

This migratory water bird, quite small at about 6-1/2 inches total length, is a very fast flier.  This is one of the very few times that I was able to catch it in flight. It was speeding over the fish ponds of Binmaley (Pangasinan) on March 1st.

The yellow eye-ring and other features in the head area, plus over-wing details, are easily visible, making the ID of this bird an easy job.
