Short Description:

The Common Ringed Plover (Charadrius hiaticula) is a small shorebird found in Pakistan, particularly along coastal areas and wetlands. This bird is known for its distinctive black neck band or "ring," which gives it its name.

In Pakistan, the Common Ringed Plover can be found along the coastlines, estuaries, mudflats, and sandy beaches, especially in regions such as Karachi, Sindh, and along the Makran coast. They are also spotted in inland wetlands during migration periods.

Common Ringed Plovers are highly adaptable birds with distinctive behavior. They are often seen running rapidly along the water’s edge, probing the sand and mud with their bills in search of small invertebrates like worms, crustaceans, and insects. These birds are migratory, with some populations wintering in Pakistan and others passing through during migration periods.
