Small pale plover, typically found on sandy beaches. Occasionally visits estuaries, seawalls, and mudflats as well. Very similar in all plumages to Kentish Plover, with which it occasionally mixes. Male is sandy brown with a black collar, pale face, and a rufous-and-black crown. Thinner collar and eye-line than Kentish Plover. Female and juvenile are similarly brown with a white collar and face. All plumages have diagnostically pale-fringed feathers which give the bird a worn, faded-out appearance; molting Kentish Plover may appear worn but not in such a uniform manner. (eBird)

We returned to Marina Bay East two days later in search of a possible Siberian Sand-Plover, but no luck. Instead we were treated to stellar views of the female Malaysian Plover. Her mate was also there, but more distant. Lovely to get such great looks at, and photographs of, lifer birds.

The Sydney Opera House is a multi-venue performing arts centre in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Located on the foreshore of Sydney Harbour, it is widely regarded as one of the world's most famous and distinctive buildings and a masterpiece of 20th-century architecture.
The building and its surrounds occupy the whole of Bennelong Point on Sydney Harbour, between Sydney Cove and Farm Cove, adjacent to the Sydney central business district and the Royal Botanic Gardens, and near to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. (Wikipedia)

A four-image panorama of this iconic Australian landmark. We had an unexpected opportunity to visit the opera house and botanic gardens next door when we missed our flight from Sydney to Alice Springs. With only one flight a day, we had an afternoon free to explore a tiny bit of Sydney. A great way to shake off the jet lag from our flight between Vancouver and Sydney.
