Three-banded plover's art of gliding
Whereas most Northern hemisphere plovers tend to move in run-stop-start staccatos along shorelines, the African three-banded plover (Charadrius tricollaris) likes to skim, wade and glide along waterhole ponds foraging for food. To capture the graceful gliding step of this three-banded plover, the photographer had to lie prone with his elbows stuck in the mud for a steady prop. This image was shot in the Selinda game reserve, in the Okavango Delta, Botswana.
