Length: 28 cm Wingspan: 56 cm

European Golden-Plover

The stocky build of this species makes it look shorter-billed and shorter-legged than the other golden-plovers. The wing tips extend just beyond the end of the tail, but the short tertials expose four or five primaries, similar to American Golden-Plover. In flight, the white underside of the wings is more...

Lesser Sand-Plover

This rare visitor from Asia is very distinctive in alternate plumage, but birds in basic plumage might go unnoticed among similar Semipalmated Plovers.

Length: 18 cm Wingspan: 38 cm
