Little Ringed Plover

Charadrius dubius

Description:

Adults have a grey-brown back and wings, a white belly, and a white breast with one black neckband. They have a brown cap, a white forehead, a black mask around the eyes with white above and a short dark bill. The legs are flesh-coloured and the toes are all webbed. This species differs from the larger Ringed Plover in leg colour, the head pattern, and the presence of a clear yellow eye-ring. Both male and female take turn to incubate the eggs. These birds forage for food on muddy areas, usually by sight. They eat insects and worms.

Habitat:

Seen near a half dried village pond.
