The Kentish Plover, just 15-17cm in length, breeds in most subtropical and tropical parts of the world. It no longer breeds in Kent, or even Great Britain.
These birds breed on sandy coasts and brackish inland lakes. Its nest is a ground scrape. They lay 3-5 eggs.
The Kentish Plover eats insects and other invertebrates, obtained by a run-and-pause technique.
The flight call is a sharp bip.
