Animal India

The little ringed plover (Charadrius dubius) measuring 15 to 18 cm in length and weighing 25 to 50 grams belongs to the family of lapwings and plovers, the Charadriidae distributed in Europe, central Asia, Middle East, central Africa, Indian subcontinent and southeast Asia. These plover species have a distinctive bright yellow eye-ring. These plovers are polytypic species. Breeds on stony substrates around lakes, gravel pits, and along rivers; migrants occur in a wide variety of fresh and brackish wetland habitats, but rarely out on open tidal areas. The call sounds like ''peu''. This photo was taken at the bank of Hooghly River (Ganges River distributary) in Rudrapara, Mayapur, West Bengal, India, on 29/01/2023.
