Greater Sandplover
Charadrius leschenaultii

(Above) South West of Al Ruwais, Qatar, 13 June 2013 (EOS 7D, 300mm f2.8 + 2x Extender)

The above images are 100% crops from original RAWs of 5184x3456px (with an effective focal distance of 960mm) to 1200x800px. This seems a remarkably early returning juvenile from breeding grounds (presumably) more than 600 miles north of Qatar. It was closely accompanied by two adults, though not seen to beg food from either of them.
