	Little Ringed Plover, Charadrius dubius

		The little ringed plover is a visitor from early March although arrivals are not widespread until the month end.
		Little ringed plovers first nested in Norfolk in 1960; nowadays up to 40 pairs summer in the county.

		These little birds may be seen on almost any beach in the Emirates, dashing along with their legs an invisible blur and looking for all the world like a clockwork toy or a tiny uni-cyclist.
		The numbers of Kentish Plovers in the UAE fluctuate as migrants from the east of the Caspian Sea swell the local resident population.
		In the breeding plumage the rufous breastband of the Caspian Plover is not as extensive as that of the Mongolian Plover and is underlined by a fl band.

	BTO - Migration Watch - Focus on Little Ringed Plover
		Little Ringed Plovers are smaller, slimmer versions of Ringed Plovers, with some subtle differences. With a good view, Little Ringed Plovers show a conspicuous yellow eye-ring, an all-dark bill and brown/yellow legs compared with the orange legs of a Ringed Plover. In flight they lack the wing-bar shown by Ringed Plover.
		Remarkably Little Ringed Plovers were first recorded breeding in Britain as recently as 1938, in Tring, Hertfordshire. They now breed across southern, central and north-west England, typically on man-made sites such as gravel pits, reservoirs and sewage farms. There has been a considerable increase in the number of pairs nesting in Wales.
		The first sightings of Little Ringed Plovers are usually in early-mid March and by the end of the month many are already back on suitable breeding grounds.

	Wildlife - Little Ringed Plover
		As name suggests, marginally smaller than ringed plover and with slimmer body but size alone is not a good guide to identity.
		Like its relative, little ringed plover has sandy brown upperparts and white underparts with fl collar and breast-band and fl and white markings on face.
		Juvenile similar to juvenile ringed plover but, in flight, wings lack wingbars; adults have similarly uniform wings, the best feature for distant identification.

		These pits, themselves excavated as part of the house and road building boom of that time, replicated the little ringed plover’s natural habitat on the continent - the shingle banks of major rivers.
		We have co-operated with landowners to ensure that stock have been controlled on shingle banks during the nesting season, and we have been able to overcome the problem of trampling the nests during May and June.
		Little ringed plovers are nervous, lively birds and have sharp and short calls or frantic trilling.

		Plovers are a widely distributed group of (Walking with your feet in shallow water) wading (Warm-blooded egg-laying vertebrates characterized by feathers and forelimbs modified as wings) birds belonging to the ((biology) a taxonomic category below a family) subfamily Charadriinae.
		Plovers are found throughout the world, and are characterised by relatively short bills.
		Food is insects, worms or other invetebrates, depending on habitat, which are obtained by a run-and-pause technique, rather than the steady probing of some other wader groups.

		In flight the larger ringed plover (Charadrius hiaticula) can be identified by obvious white wing bars which the little ringed plover (Charadrius dubius) lacks, whereas if a close view reveals a prominent gold eye-ring then the bird is the smaller little ringed plover.
		The ringed plover is present all year and more often associated with coastal areas but can also be found well inland and has been sighted in various locations in Staffordshire.
		Its smaller relative, the little ringed plover is a summer visitor and tends to prefer inland sites.

		The above photos were taken on the sand spit at Little Marlow Gravel Pit, which is a good place to see the species in Spring and early summer.
		The male was clearly looking "frisky" so I thought a few shots of him displaying to the female might be interesting.
