Order: Charadriiformes 
Family: Charadridae
Pluvialis apricaria
European Golden Plover

Size: 25-28 cm
Habitat
They live in farmlands, steppes, marshes, and the edge of lagoons with farmland nearby. They favour reed and bulrush vegetation areas where they can conceal, as well as farmlands ranging from sea-level to 650 m altitude.
They move in small flocks mingled with European Golden Plovers. They feed on insects and invertebrates in general. They winter in the Iberian Peninsula. Their ochre and golden plumage gives them the perfect camouflage in dry vegetation environments.  They are extremely difficult to be watched but they can sometimes be seen on the beaches next to dunes, and at the edge of marshes and low vegetation areas.
