The Crab Plover (left & above) is a dramatic wader of tidal mudflats around the Indian Ocean. Its distribution is very localized. Indeed, only nine nesting colonies are known in the entire world! Over 1500 pairs nest in Iran, 300 pairs breed in the United Arab Emirates (where these photos were taken), 85 pairs in Oman, 110 pairs in Saudi Arabia, and an unknown number in Somalia (Rands 1996).
