Great low camera frontal view of this cute little plover. Love the crisp focus, dof, colors, lighting, detail, and the criss-crossed reflection of its legs. Terrific Max!

It's a Malaysian Plover Max not a Tibetan Sand Plover. There are currently no records of Siberian Sand Plover from Thailand.

Hi Grahame: I got so tangled up with the split for the Lesser Sand Plover into Siberian and Tibetan that I misfired completely. Thanks for your intervention.
