	Greater Sand Plover. Who is Greater Sand Plover? What is Greater Sand Plover? Where is Greater Sand Plover? Definition ...
		Greater Sand Plover, Charadrius leschenaultii, is a small wader in the plover family of birds.
		Separating the species may be straightforward in mixed wintering flocks on an Indian beach, where the difference in size and structure is obvious; it is another thing altogether to identify a lone vagrant to western Europe, where both species are very rare.
		The Greater Sand Plover's food is insects, crustaceans and wormss, which are obtained by a run-and-pause technique, rather than the steady probing of some other wader groups.

	Sandplover at Bolina Lagoon, California

		The overall coloration of Greater Sandplover is paler, recalling Snowy Plover; that of Mongolian is darker brown, recalling Semipalmated Plover.
		The sandplover was trapped and measured on 15 March.

		The lesser sandplover is the size and shape of the common ringed plover, thus about the height of the turnstone but far shorter.
		The greater sand plover was by far the more common and we saw some on every island except Cousin, usually in small groups (2 to 5) or as individuals.

	Greater Sandplover
		After about ten minutes I found the Greater Sand Plover on the mud, slightly away from the main flock and in amongst Ringed Plover and Dunlin.
		The bill was larger than that of a Ringed Plover but not as large as I had expected, having seen many Greater and Lesser Sand Plovers in various parts of Asia, most recently in China and Hong Kong in May 1992.
		The bird had a light rufous breast band which was very faint in the centre, but certainly complete, with larger patches of rufous on the sides of the breast.

		In addition to these riches Egypt provides exciting birdwatching since a number of African species such as Senegal Thick-knee, Greater Painted-snipe, Kittlitz's Plover, Senegal Coucal and Nile Valley Sunbird reach the northern limit of their range here.
		Day 2: Our first day will be a wonderful mixture of both birds and history with visits to the fascinating stepped pyramid of Sakkara (a nesting site for Pharaoh Eagle-Owl), the mastabas of Ti and Mereruka (for amazingly accurate carvings of the birds of ancient Egypt), the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx.
		Greater Sandplover and comparisons between Eurasian Curlew and Whimbrel are among the other ornithologcal possibilities.
