White-fronted Plover

The White-fronted Plover (Afrikaans name, Vaalstrandkiwiet) a wader, is usually found in coastal areas throughout Southern Africa.

The regional population is about 20 000 birds.

These little birds eat insects, small molluscs and worms. We caught sight of them at the Seeberg hide in the West Coast National Park.

Surprisingly we also saw them in the Kruger National Park, in their breeding colour of a creamy buff breast.
