The image shows a small bird standing on a sandy surface, possibly a beach or dune. The bird has a light brown and white plumage with a slightly speckled pattern on its back and wings. Its underbelly is a lighter color, and it has a distinctive dark eye stripe. The bird is surrounded by some dry, scattered twigs and grass. The background is blurred, focusing attention on the bird.

Tūturiwhatu

I had heard that Tūturiwhatu (New Zealand Dotterel, Charadrius Obscurus) were to be found on local sandy beaches and I found this one at Waikanae Beach, with the help of a local kid.
