Greater Sand Plover


Lesser Sand Plover
Great desire to see new waders arrive to shore here. I everyday present to the shore watching if any new spotted. When I was about to get down to sand mud flat, a senior digiscoper Andrew Siani   http://borneoavifauna.blogspot.com/
 came. We were together digiscoping and I was happy having a friend shooting and beside that my silence was broken too. The day was so hot and waders were shot right under the mid-day sun. AAgghhh so hot. Happy birding.

Tools: Kowa TSN-884 Spotting scope +Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS.

    Hi Sinooorita,

    Nice pics! The lower one is a Lesser Sand Plover. Note the different bill shape, grey legs and prey. I've not seen Greater taking marine worms. Hope to see waders here soon!
