Juan Pinto has been in touch to confirm that they located a juvenile CHESTNUT-BANDED PLOVER at Mkhombo Dam in Mpumalanga earlier today at roughly 25 8 53.67 S 28 49 44.04 E. This is a different individual as the other 2 that were reported from there previously were adults.
He also confirms that they located the 2 WHIMBRELS about 1km west of that site today as well.
Good luck if you are planning on chasing any of these on the weekend and keep us updated!
Kind regards
Trevor
