Kentish Plover

Description

Plovers have a large geographical distribution and some species cover several continents during each migratory season. The Kentish Plover breeds on coastal and inland wetlands across the warm temperate regions of Europe, Asia and northern Africa, and winters south through the Malay Peninsula to Singapore. In 1993, a few unusually pale plovers seen with Kentish Plovers at Tuas, Singapore, were later identified as the White-faced Plover, a bird overlooked since the nineteenth century.
