Yat-tung YU BBS Moderator BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Gender: Posts: 133 Re: Plover?? « Reply #2 on: Sep 13th, 2004, 2:56pm » Quote Modify Dear Felix,   I think it is a juvenile Lesser Sand Plover. Short bill, 'large head, small body' are well shown in your picture. Greater Sand Plover has a longer bill and body.   Issac: Oriental Plover has more longer wings, slimmer body and longer and thinner bill.   Tung Logged isaac_chan BBS Member BBS God Praise the Creator for His amazing works!     Gender: Posts: 754 Re: Plover?? « Reply #3 on: Sep 13th, 2004, 8:10pm » Quote Modify Thanks Tung.
