Three-Banded Plover - Freedom is Bliss
A Three-banded Plover visits a watering hole in the wilds of Namibia, southwestern Africa. It would appear that this specific bird is either still immature, or is not in its full breeding plumage. Normally the two bands would be darker and more prominent.
The three-banded plover, or three-banded sandplover , is a small wader. This plover is resident in much of eastern and southern Africa and Madagascar, mainly on inland rivers, pools, and lakes. Its nest is a bare scrape on shingle. This species is often seen as single individuals, but it will form small flocks. It hunts by sight for insects, worms and other invertebrates. Three-banded plover has a sharp whistled ''weeet-weet'' call.
