Hi all. I haven't posted for a long time because I haven't had the chance to take any bird photos for ages.
This morning we went to White Island off Camiguin, and I saw this solitary bird.
From looking in Kennedy, I can't work out if it is Kentish or Malaysian Plover (or something else). I'd be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Brian

Congrats on the capture!

The pictures aren't great, but at least it was good enough for an I.D.! That's a lifer (at least it's the first time I've been sure). I don't know if it might also be a new island record for Camiguin.
