The Kentish Plover, scientifically known as Charadrius alexandrinus, is a captivating bird species that has captured the attention of many nature enthusiasts. This small shorebird can be found in various parts of the world, including Portugal, Oman, Turkey, and even the Azores. One remarkable aspect of the Kentish Plover is its beautiful plumage. A colour lithograph from Birds of the British Isles and Their Eggs showcases this bird's stunning appearance. Whether it is in its winter or summer plumage, this plover never fails to impress with its intricate patterns and delicate shades. Not only does the Kentish Plover possess aesthetic appeal but it also exhibits fascinating behaviors. In October 2017, a juvenile Kentish Plover was spotted sitting on a mudflat in Cabo da Praia, Terceira in the Azores. It was an endearing sight to witness this young bird navigating its surroundings with curiosity and innocence. Feeding habits are another intriguing aspect of these birds' lives. One photograph captures a Kentish Plover diligently searching for food on a beach in Portugal. With their keen eyesight and quick movements, they skillfully snatch insects or small crustaceans from sandy shores, and is worth mentioning that eggs play an essential role in understanding avian life cycles. The eggs of various European birds were documented through lithographs published back in 1897 - among them were those belonging to Ring Plovers and Curlews alongside our beloved Kentish Plovers. In addition to their diverse habitats across different continents like Europe and Asia Minor (Turkey), these plovers have adapted well to arid regions such as Oman where they can be observed year-round. Their presence adds vibrancy to coastal landscapes while showcasing their resilience against harsh environmental conditions.
