Charadrius leschenaultii Lesson 1826. Winter plumage. Avoiding a wave.
Greater Sand Plover

Charadrius leschenaultii is a small plover (family Charadriidae) with a length of 19-22 cm. Breeding males have grey backs and white underparts. The breast, forehead and nape are chestnut, and there is a black eye mask. The female is duller, and winter and juvenile birds lack the chestnut, apart from a hint of rufous on the head. Legs are greenish and the bill black.
It breeds in the semi-deserts of Turkey and eastwards through Central Asia. It is strongly migratory, wintering on sandy beaches in east Africa, south Asia and Australasia. It is a rare vagrant in western Europe.

In Cyprus Charadrius leschenaultii is a passage migrant and a winter visitor always in very small numbers.

Γειά σου Χριστόδουλος, Πώς μπορεί ένα άτομο να είναι τόσο τυχερό;;; Κατά τη γνώμη μου, αυτό είναι ένα κύριο κομμάτι!!! Θαυμάσια οξύτητα που ενισχύει τη λεπτομέρεια με τα απόλυτα σαφή χρώματα και τα λαμπιρίζοντας σταγονίδια νερού και μια ζάλη BG/DOF. Μεγάλη εργασία ο φίλος μου. Με φιλικούς χαιρετισμούς,
Carl

Hello Christodoulos,
How can one person be so lucky??? In my opinion, this is a master piece!!! Superb sharpness that enhances the detail with absolute clear colours and sparkling water droplets and a stunning BG/DOF. Great work my friend.
Best regards,
Carl

Ciao Christodoulos. Exciting light here and perfect details considering the flying capture! Best compliments.
