Please may I request help.
Before 14th December I had never seen any Sandplover ever. I had to chance to see some though: I was aware the id can be challenging. I believe Greater is common here, but there might also be lesser present. (Tibetan s-p)
Please may I request help with a bird photographed : I didn't see the flight pattern, but I "think" it is Greater Sandplover due to (1) some black on the tail (2) the size of the bill. However I am confused by the colour of the legs.
If anyone with more experience than myself would be so kind as to comment on this and confirm for me this is the species please; I would be very grateful.
