The Common Ringed Plover or Ringed Plover (Charadrius hiaticula) is a small plover. Adults are 17-19.5 cm in length with a 35–41 cm wingspan. They 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 and a short orange and black bill. The legs are orange and only the outer two toes are slightly webbed. It's breeding habitat is open ground on beaches or flats across northern Eurasia and in Arctic northeast Canada. Some birds breed inland, and in western Europe they nest as far south as northern France. They nest on the ground in an open area with little or no plant growth.
They are migratory and winter in coastal areas south to Africa. Many birds in Great Britain and northern France are resident throughout the year. They forage for food on beaches, tidal flats and fields, usually by sight. They eat insects, crustaceans and worms.
