Bird Eudromias morinellus of the plover
family, nesting on high moors and tundra in
Europe and Asia, migrating south for the
winter. About 23 cm/9 in, it is clad in a
pattern of black, brown, and white in summer,
duller in winter, but always with white
eyebrows and breastband. Females are larger
than males, and the male incubates and rears
the brood.
