Aegialites meloda 
AugJ I. Abundant in flocks of 3 or 4 to a dozen, rarely mingling 
with other waders except incidentally when feeding. They feed 
along wet sand precisely like Ring necks but also spend much time 
resting and sleeping on dry sand. The majority are young in full 
autumn plumage and getting their own living. Tha note is a 
single short whistle. The call is seldom heard now. 
Apparently there are no adults with eggs or dependent young.'
