Just seen the pics of Laurie Knight's plover and Tim Murphy's post from
earlier today and posted them on the ABID (see
http://www.aviceda.org/abid/newimages.php)
Personally I can't see why this isn't a Kentish Plover, it certainly
looks longer-legged and all I can see is a partial breast-band not a
"complete" one.
Few 'charadrius' plovers have a complete white-collar as with this bird.
Malaysian Plover usually has a less pronounced white supercilium, Ringed
or Little Ringed would have a complete breast-band.
Take a look at the following shots on the OBC Image Database:

Hopefully will be able to get down this weekend, but SE Qlders are
'bracing' themselves for a 'mini-cyclone'.....more rarities?
