@mybirdcards Oh, have they changed name? I'm sure we used to call them blacksmith plovers.
<CHECKS> - Yes, my 1976 copy of Roberts' Birds of Southern Africa has them as plovers. Any idea why the name change?
@withaveeay 👍 We're not sure, but it may be that they were determined to have more broad and rounded wings than the typical plover? Both names are still in usage though.
