    Oman -- Lesser/Greater Sand-Plover? -- al-Khaluf (near Masirah Island / Bar al-Hikman)

    I believe this is a Lesser Sand-Plover in non-breeding plumage but wanted to double check, but maybe it's a Greater. Hard to tell the bill size with such blurry photos (sorry, they were taken through my windshield!) Some pictures also have a Sanderling in them. Photos are all of the same...

    We'd seen distant Sand Plovers earlier in the week, but no chance of a picture. Didn't do too great a job on this one... the only image I got that morning. But at least it's recognisable in winter plumage.

    I choose to add this picture as it does show what many people think a Greater should look like - but many of the features like its apparent square head, are all to do with the angle of the bird to the camera.

    found over fifty of this species today - however not certain whether this one went somewhere and is now back or simply just didn't bother.
