I did not spot the little fellow in the foreground. Any idea what is it? Shot in Henry's Island.

The bird in the foreground is not very clear. It may be Greater Sand plover in non breeding plumage. Let me hear what others say.

Cheers,

The bird in the foreground is a Kentish Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus).

The habitat is nice. It looks like lot of domestic animals visit that place (cows, buffaloes..). I think a lower ISO would have been sufficient in this case with a slight narrower aperture. Thanks for sharing.
