Sand Plovers & Albatross identification

["Bob Forsyth" <>]

G'day all,

 

Re Trevor Hardaker's posting 20/10/2004

"[BIRDING-AUS] Seasonality tables"

and his reference to www.zestforbirds.co.za re South African birding

 

It is indeed a very professional web page and a great source of info.

 

I open up "ID Issues" and found an excellent ID article (with photos)

"Separating Greater and Lesser Sand Plovers"

 

It can be found by going direct to

http://www.zestforbirds.co.za/sandplover.html

 

Another may interest the Pelagic enthusiasts

"Separating Wandering & Royal Albatrosses"
