Naked eye test | Share your piping plover sightings #Glostaplover
Can you spot a piping plover? Train your eyes to scan for movement–it’s the easiest way to spy the piping plover summer 2017 brood. They scuttle along dry seaweed patches back and forth to the wet sand and within the enclosure. Yesterday the baby chicks were still apt to topple over inside sand scallop depressions. Their future wings are visibly growing out. Now 1 week old, their sweet piping chirps are clearly audible. The parents are much easier to find. We’re lucky we can see the birds close up in Kim Smith’s gorgeous art.

I’d like to 100% Endorse These Cheap, Energy Efficient and Classy Looking Night Lights 4 Pack for $11.49
They are an absolute no-brainer purchase. They emit a slightly warm hue that gives just enough light at night so you can walk around without flipping lights on or off (also allow me to pee in the toilet instead of guessing if it’s a straight shot into the bowl).
The are a small enough footprint that they allow you to still use the other plug in a two plug outlet. They only cost 30 cents to run for an entire year. They have a sensor that turns them off when there’s enough light that they aren’t needed. Totally ingenious, totally cheap, but they look really nice.
You can buy them on Amazon on sale now for $11.49 (normally $15.99) 28% savings
Here’s the link to purchase- Sycees 0.5W Plug-in LED Night Light Lamp with Dusk to Dawn Sensor, Warm White, 4-Pack
There’s 2168 Five Star Reviews
