Food is wide variety of freshwater and marine invertebrates. Nest is scrape on sand, shingle or other bare ground near inland water or on the coast.

Identification: Compared with Litlle Ringed Plover, more compact and full-chested with slightly shorter tertials and longer primary projection. Flight rapid with rather loosely ‘clipped’ wingbeats; compared with e.g. Dunlin, is longer-winged with less protruding head. Adult’s orange legs and bill-base, and prominent white wing-bar striking; ♀ has much often brown in black head markings and breast-band, giving less clear-cut and smart appearance than ♂. In winter, legs are sometime a little duller orange, and bill sometimes is all dark. Juvenile: Dark brown instead of black on head and breast; breast-band reduced or broken in centre; upperparts finely pale-fringed; bill all dark or with a little yellowish at the base, legs dull orange to yellowish. Black on head and breast usually acquired by Dec/Jan, after which 1 winter rarely distinguishable from adult.

Variation: Very slight; northerly birds of Fenno-Scandian mountains and arctic coasts on average slightly smaller and slimmer than in rest of Europe (hiaticula) and a tinge darker above; they also moult flight-feathers in winter quarters. Instead or near breeding grounds as hiaticula.
