https://www.vogelwarte.ch/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/1870_1.jpg16001200Grey Plovers are the largest representatives of this wader family. They belong to the few arctic long-distance migrants which can be encountered almost all over the world. During the breeding season, the birds inhabit the arctic tundra round the North Pole and during the winter, they are mostly seen on flat seashores.
