These Plovers were very common on the sandy inland 
stretches to the east of the big lagoon at the western end of 
the island. When stationary they are easily overlooked, as 
they exactly match the colour of the ground they frequent. 
On settling again after being disturbed the whole flock runs 
forward a little way and then remains motionless with the 
backs of the birds directed towards the intruder. 
In January the males were moulting and assuming the 
rufous ear-coverts and collar on the fore-neck (cf. 
Sharpe, /. c.). 
These birds are very fond of running along the hard wet 
sand left by receding waves on the sea-shore in search of 
minute crustacea.
