The Black-fronted Dotterel (Elseyornis melanops) is a small plover found in Australia and also New Zealand. They are usually seen feeding along the edge of freshwater wetlands. They feed mainly on insects and other small invertebrates but will also eat some seeds. I took the following photos at the Narawntapu National Park in Tasmania.
