Three-banded plover

The three-banded plover, or three-banded sandplover, is a small wader that is resident and generally sedentary across much of East Africa, southern Africa and Madagascar. It occurs mainly on inland rivers, pools, lakes and pans, frequenting their exposed shores, and is usually seen singly though it will form small flocks. It hunts by sight for insects, worms and other invertebrates, and has a sharp, whistled call. Its larger, darker-plumaged sister species, Forbes's plover, replaces it in West Africa and the moist tropics, the two sharing largely separate breeding ranges; both present a distinctively elongated profile from their proportionally long tail and wings.
