LITTLE GRAVELOT ON ITS NEST -Miniature in “Minuscule” bottle

Small bottle containing a little ringed plover's nest, with 4 tiny eggs. In the tiny collection!

The male Little Ringed Plover visits several potential nesting sites in different locations, and the female chooses the most suitable one. She surrounds it with pebbles, shell fragments, or blades of grass, then lays four sandy-yellow eggs with brownish-black spots.

The Little Ringed Plover is an emblematic bird of the banks of the Loire, but its nests are very sensitive to disturbance and variations in water level.
