Black-bellied plover

In Norway these are called "tundralo" - tundra plovers. Here, they are shorebirds. I saw one at the mudflats in Tokyo last summer, but didn't get much of a picture of it. Didn't do all that well this time either. While the "peeps" didn't seem to mind much my watching them...

Black-bellied Plover

One of the more interesting birds to watch feeding as it moved about a sand beech. The black feathers on its belly are only beginning to form making it a little difficult to identify.
