The little ringed plover is a small plover native to the Old World. It has mostly brown upperparts, a black neckband, and a black mask around the eye with a noticeable yellow eyering, while its forehead, belly, and the rest of its breast are white. A migratory species, it breeds in open gravel areas near freshwater, including gravel pits, islands, and river edges, and its diet consists mainly of insects and worms that it forages for in muddy areas.
