The Little Ringed Plover Charadrius dubius has got to be one of my favourite birds.  Not only is it a nice little package but even the name has a comfortable “ring” to it.  I look out for it every migration season and it has yet to disappoint.

This morning on the Lok Kawi Beach south of Kota Kinabalu, Osman and I had a grand time with waders.  There were sandpipers – Terek and Common, Ruddy Turnstones, egrets, a lone Whimbrel and lots of plovers.  A pair of resident Malaysian Plovers added further delight to a fine outing.
