Most Beautiful in the World? - Diademed Sandpiper-Plover

[Glenn Bartley]

At least the most beautiful shorebird perhaps?

These little guys are incredible arent they? They live up high in the Andes mountains in Peru and Chile. They can only be found at elevations above 4500m :shock:

Be prepared to be out of breath if you ever go and try to photograph them ;)

All the best!
