#Bahrain #Birds Greater sandplover numbers from various populations continue to arrive mostly on passage, but many will winter.

#Bahrain #Birds Lesser Sandplover, Just one of the thousands that winter here. Note on the net: many Sandplover pics remain misidentified due to the new split. Also, WHY do people insist on calling lesser - Tibetan? None of ours has never been near Tibet ours breed south and west of the Himalayas

AB's theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #Seabirds & alt is #Airborne. So I've gone for a #Twofer

Here's a Tibetan SandPlover in flight taken near Marina Bay, Singapore.

Greater Sandplover, Cleveland August 2022.

From the archive - a walk along the beach at Redcar was topped with a flyby from the Greater Sandplover.

#Bahrain #Birds #Waders Greater Sandplover over 300 at one of many roosts on the shore with early morning high tides this week. Variety is in the eye of the beholder, or needed DNA studies

#Bahrain #Birds Greater Sandplover, the first wader species to show change into a semblance of breeding plumage. Not the best photo I have of them, but this one illustrates the difference between the resplendant male and duller female.

Green with envy of the birders at Falsterbo this morning where a Tibetan Sandplover this morning slightly upstaged by a Wolf wandering past the watch point

#Bahrain #Birds #Waders Gt Sandplover normally leave mid-April to breed across Levant, returning early in mid-June. Yesterday found 40+ ALL looking totally different to norm. IMO differences are too big for just SSP variance. Need DNA studies that go beyond few old museum specimens.

Just a few of the amazing birds I've been lucky enough to see in Shetland over the last 12 months. Personal highlight being the Savannah Sparrow. (Just don't mention American flycatchers!😉) #YellBirding #Shetland #RareBirdsUk

Greater Sandplover (breeding adult), E Yorks; July 2018
Though something of a mega rarity in its own right, one of the best things about UK sightings of this sp is/ was that they'd sometimes be reidentified as Lesser SP (now Tibetan & Siberian Sandplover). This was my 3rd in the UK #twitching #birds

A couple of days up north over the weekend took in the Northumberland Greater Sandplover (my 1st UK sandplover since 1997), alongside fantastic flocks of Roseate Terns & a tasty 2nd cal Caspian Gull on the rising tide at Newbiggin
