"This is the little ringed plover (Charadrius dubius) in the Kasai Rinkai Park in Toyko Bay. A large park with wetlands, surrounded by city and full of birds (and bird hides). I met quite a few Japanese birders here. They were very helpful with IDs. The bird looks quite a lot like our black-fronted dotterel. Bird #48 in 2023."
