 DETERMINATION OF CLUTCH SIZE AND THE BREEDING BIOLOGY OF THE SPUR-WINGED PLOVER (VANELLUS SPINOSUS) IN ISRAEL
The breeding biology of the Spur-winged Plover (Vanellus spinosus) was studied in an agricultural area in central Israel from 1989 through 1993.
The Spur-winged Plover (Vanellus spinosus) is the most common charadrid species resident in Israel.
During the last three decades, it has spread from river banks and other natural water bodies in the north of the country to fish ponds, water reservoirs, road banks, airports, and agricultur- al areas in northern and central Israel (Paz 1987).

 spur-winged plover, Vanellus miles novaehollandiae   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
In spite of the heavy predation by harrier hawks and those rural people who make a habit of using birds for target practice, its numbers have now become so great that there is talk of culling them, especially where they are impinging on threatened species such as the New Zealand dotterel.
There are two well marked races of this bird; the smaller race, Vanellus miles novaehollandiae, originally just bred in the south–east of Australia but then externded its range to Tasmania and New Zealand.
The other, northern, race, Vanellus miles miles, has extended its range from northern Australia to New Guinea.
