Geocache Description:

This cache is very close to a road which can be parked on. Should be accessible at any time of year although during the summer the undergrowth could be a nuisance.

-----Congratulations to The Red Duke for FTF-----

Many of Bedford's housing suburbs have a theme. The theme of this area is "birds". Also nearby are prime ministers, golf courses, rivers and painters.

The ringed plover is a small, dumpy, short-legged wading bird. It is brownish grey above and whitish below. It has a orange bill, tipped with black, orange legs and a black-and-white pattern on its head and breast. In flight it shows a broad white wing-stripe. Breeds on beaches around the coast, but has also now breeding inland in sand and gravel pits and former industrial sites. Many UK birds live here all year round, but birds from Europe winter in Britain and birds from Greenland and Canada pass through on migration.
