The Tibetan Sand-Plover (Charadrius atrifrons), also known as the Black-fronted Plover, is a small, charismatic wader belonging to the plover family. This species is an intriguing inhabitant of the high-altitude plains and wetlands of the Tibetan Plateau and surrounding regions of Central Asia. Its existence in such a harsh environment makes it a resilient and fascinating bird.
Their diet primarily consists of insects and other small invertebrates which they deftly pick from the ground using their characteristic "run-stop-peck" foraging method. Like many plovers, their cryptic coloration helps them blend seamlessly into their environment, making them surprisingly difficult to spot despite their active movements.
