Little Ringed Plover
Charadrius dubius
- tidak umum
- 48 km/h
- Risiko rendah
A tiny plover that runs in short bursts across river gravel, stops dead still, then runs again. The bright golden ring around its eye is the giveaway in a world of look-alikes.
- Populasi
- Approximately 503,000-863,000 mature individuals globally; population trend suspected decreasing but not rapidly
- Habitat
- Open, bare gravel or sandy ground near fresh water - river shingle banks, gravel pits, sandbars, and other early-successional or disturbed substrates near lakes and rivers, including man-made sites like quarries and reservoir margins
- Fakta menarik
- Its species name "dubius" (Latin for "doubtful") reflects 18th-century uncertainty over whether it was truly distinct from the common ringed plover, from which it is now most easily told apart by its bright yellow eye-ring.
