Three-banded Plover

Thinornis tricollaris Vieillot, LJP 1818

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 plovers have a sharp whistled weeet-weet call. Source: Wikipedia
