Observation details
This was the bird of the day for me, and one of those lifers I'd somehow never seen before!! I was bagging shot after shot of the Black-Tails when out of nowhere there materialised the perfect Plover!! Its front was a soft, angelic white, its footsteps tiny, and its posture upright and yet not stiff; it was very soft and gentle in every way as it slowly stop-start pattered towards me, picking daintily at the occasional crab... oh my god!! The dovelike Lesser Sand-Plover, lesser in no way, was THE BEST KICK!!!
