- Abstract
The recent re-evaluation of the systematic status of the Kentish Plover subspecies Charadrius alexandrinus seebohmi to a new taxon, Hanuman Plover Charadrius seebohmi, highlighted the gaps in the research on shorebirds in the Central Asian Flyway. We are presenting four new breeding records of Hanuman Plover; three from the Gulf of Mannar and one from Point Calimere. These sites are the nearest south-eastern Indian sites to the Mannar region of Sri Lanka. Hence the need for Hanuman Plover's description as a regional endemic with conservation prioritization, making it a flagship species in CAF in Sri Lanka and southern India.
