Grey Plover

Grey Plover (Pluvialis squatarola)

Grey Plover (Pluvialis squatarola)


The grey plover has a black mottled upper body, with a black face, neck and belly. It is a passing migrant and uncommon on Arran, with the last sighting at Machriewaterfoot. They are only found along coasts, preferring muddy and sandy estuaries, where they stand upright and run in short bursts suddenly stopping to feed on shellfish, worms and insects. They nest on the ground in a scrape where there is good visibility.
