Observation details
Single bird in water logged area at end of the runway. Also seen by many others in past week. Dull non-breeding plumage, white underside except for lateral breast tabs, and brownish dorsally. Separated from lesser sand plover by its larger bill, less-erect forehead and relative size. I'm used to seeing this bird in the Northern Territory. Will endeavour to obtain a photo from someone
