4 sections
The Inland Dotterel is a medium-sized plover native to Australia's arid interior. This bird is easily recognised by its unique black Y-shaped marking on the breast and a vertical black band through the eye, set against sandy-buff plumage. It is well-adapted to harsh environments, blending seamlessly into the landscape with its camouflaged colouration.
