Kentish Plover in Hong Kong

 


AJP took this photograph on a beach in Hong Kong.  The Kentish Plover (Charadrius alexandrinus) is a common winter visitor. Occurring from Europe to east Asia, they no longer occur in the south-east of England and their common name, indicating they were to be found in the county of Kent, shows how much the distributions of birds have changed over the decades and centuries.
