This Asian plover is rather like the kildeer of North America, although a quite bit smaller. It migrates to equatorial regions and the temperate southern hemisphere during the Boreal winter. These winter-plumage birds were photographed on the Cairns Esplanade in far north Queensland. The species is very similar to the greater sand plover but is smaller, with a proportionally shorter bill. |
