White-fronted plover


White-fronted plover, originally uploaded by andiwolfe.

These small shorebirds are really cute, and they are fun to watch as they dodge in and out of the way of waves washing ashore. Their coloration makes for good camouflage along the rocky beaches of South Africa. This one was spotted near Stony Point at Betty's Bay.
