	Ringed Plover - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Juvenile Ringed Plovers are duller than the adults in colour, with an often incomplete grey-brown breast band, a dark bill and dull yellowish-grey legs.
		The Ringed Plover's breeding habitat is open ground on beaches or flats across northern Eurasia and in arctic northeast Canada.
		Ringed Plovers are migratory and winter in coastal areas south to Africa.

	MSN Encarta - Plover
		Plovers are distinguished from their similar shorebird relatives the sandpipers by their relatively short bills, which are enlarged and hardened at the tip.
		The killdeer is classified as Charadrius vociferus, the piping plover as Charadrius melodus, the semipalmated plover as Charadrius semipalmatus, the common ringed plover as Charadrius hiaticula, and the snowy plover as Charadrius alexandrinus.
		The fl-bellied plover is classified as Pluvialis squatarola, the American golden plover as Pluvialis dominica, the Pacific golden plover as Pluvialis fulva, and the Eurasian golden plover as Pluvialis apricaria.

	Little Ringed Plover - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Little Ringed Plover (Charadrius dubius) is a small plover.
		This species differs from the larger Ringed Plover in leg colour, the head pattern, and the lack of an obvious yellow eye-ring.
		Their breeding habitat is open gravel areas near freshwater, including gravel pits, islands and river edges in Europe and western Asia.

		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.

	Little Ringed Plover, Charadrius dubius
		Unlike it's commoner cousin, Ringed Plover, it is confined to breeding in freshwater habitats, particularly gravel pits and reservoirs.
		Fortunately little ringed plovers are not easily put off by disturbance and readily lay again, sometimes within days if a clutch comes to grief or the chicks die.
		The little ringed plover is a visitor from early March although arrivals are not widespread until the month end.

		The description describes a small plover, between the size of a Lesser Sand Plover Charadrius mongolus and a Red-capped Plover Charadrius ruficapillus, both of which were available for direct comparison.
		The observers recognise that separation from Semi-palmated Plover Charadrius semipalmatus was not made at the time of the sighting and commented further that the extent of the broad breast band, greater amount of fl behind the eye and perhaps a slightly longer bill all suggest Ringed Plover rather than Semi-palmated.
		Nevertheless, the limited amount of yellow on the orbital ring, the quite broad sides to the breast band and the extent of white above the eye does suggest that this bird was probably a Ringed Plover.

		On closer approach it remained on the beach when the Ringed Plover flew off but eventually it flew a short distance and uttered the diagnostic call.
		The two Ringed Plover (above left and centre) were photographed in September 2003 on Arranmore Island and demonstrate the degree of individual variation that can occur in respect to the amount of white feathering above the gape.
		Obviously, Ringed Plover is not exactly a lanky, elongated, species, but these features made the Semi-P's body appear almost spherical at times.

	Waders in the United Arab Emirates (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		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.
		The Golden Plovers have lost some of their beautiful fl, white and gold colors by the time they reach the UAE, but they are still attractive birds.

		The common ringed plover and the semipalmated plover have simple plumage: plain white underparts, plain brown upper parts, fl primary feathers, and a fl ring around their necks.
		The semipalmated plover breeds across North America and the Arctic, while the ringed plover breeds only in the extreme northeast of Ellesmere and Baffin Islands, and in the European and Asian Arctic.The migrations of these two species, or subspecies, take them as far away as South America.
		Common ringed and semipalmated plovers feed on insects, although aquatic invertebrates are their primary food outside of the breeding season.

	B-Mail(sm): ID-FRONTIERS for August 13-19, 2000
		As Ringed Plovers on migration call only occasionally while disturbed breeding birds do it all the time, I suggest you return to the plover as you may be dealing with the first breeding of Ringed Plover in the USA!
		Ringed Plovers may begin breeding here from March onwards and many nests are lost.
		Birds that still have chicks now may have lost earlier clutches due to flooding, heavy rain etc. The eggs usually are laid in depressions in the sand along the outer edge of the dunes, or in pebbles, shells etc on beaches and sand banks.

	Semipalmated Plover - Kvöldlóa / Birding Iceland
		When having a quick look at Sandgerði, they soon stopped on a 'ringed plover' type, which was clearly smaller than the surrounding Ringed Plovers Charadrius hiaticula.
		It is thought that this bird is in its first summer, because of the immature looking plumage, although litterature states that first-summer birds are distinguished from adults by the very worn primaries (!).
		Apart from the webs between the toes, the white line coming above the gape is quite obvious, as the thin, yellowish eye-ring and the primaries that seem slightly longer than on most Ringed Plovers (visible on the photo below showing both species together).

	BTO - Migration Watch - Focus on Little Ringed Plover (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		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.
