The Little Ringed Plover is a small wading bird that likes to live near water. You can find them around lakes, rivers, and even gravel pits. These birds are quite small, about the size of a sparrow, with brown and white feathers. They've got a black band across their head and a yellow ring around their eyes.
These clever birds are good at hiding their nests. They make them on the ground, often in places that look just like their eggs. This helps keep their babies safe from predators. Little Ringed Plovers eat small insects and worms they find near the water.
In the UK, these birds are summer visitors. They fly here from Africa in spring to breed, then head back in autumn. Birdwatchers love spotting them because they're not super common. If you want to see one, look for a small bird running quickly along the water's edge, stopping now and then to peck at the ground.
