Ringed, Little Ringed and Kentish Plovers photo ID guide

 

Three small shorebirds form a confusing group which shares the same habitats.

No such dilemma for me as far as Kentish Plover goes....I have never seen one in the UK!  Seems a misnomer as I see them everywhere but!

Comparison to Sand Plover is a tough one though when in non breeding plumage.
