Plovers are small to medium-sized shorebirds known for their distinctive round bodies and long legs. They are often found along sandy beaches, mudflats, and grasslands, where they forage for insects, crustaceans, and small invertebrates. With their charming, often colorful plumage, plovers are a delight to observe, especially during their breeding season when they perform elaborate courtship displays. These birds are also known for their unique nesting habits. Many species, such as the Piping Plover, create simple nests on the ground, often camouflaged among pebbles or sand. Unfortunately, their habitats are threatened by human activities, making conservation efforts crucial for their survival.
