The Tibetan Sandplover (Charadrius atrifrons), also known as the Tibetan Plover or Black-fronted Plover, is a small wader primarily found in high-altitude regions of Central Asia, including the Tibetan Plateau. It is a migratory bird that travels to coastal areas in South Asia and the Middle East during winter. Recognizable by its compact build and striking breeding plumage, it displays a black frontal band contrasting with white underparts and sandy-brown upperparts.

This species inhabits wet grasslands, lakeshores, and muddy plains during its breeding season, where it forages for insects, worms, and small crustaceans. During migration, it frequents mudflats and coastal wetlands. Its presence is a rare but exciting sight in regions like the UAE, highlighting its remarkable migratory capabilities. Conservation of its habitats is essential due to potential threats from climate change and habitat disturbance.
