Since the past 2 weeks I have been observing migrants on passage through Chandigarh at the Sukhna lake.
First there were Little Stint Calidris minuta and among them a Long-toed Stint.Calidris subminuta, (Image uploaded on Youtube Just look for stints sukhna) then about a hundred Terek Sandpipers Xenus cinereus, and now a Lesser Plover (female in breeding plumage) Charadrius mongolus. The rufous wash on the breast was extending almost to the belly therefore for an instant it brought the Caspian Plover to mind but darker legs point towards the lesser.
