Plovers and lapwings are a large, virtually worldwide family that differs from sandpipers in, among other things, having a shorter, thicker, pigeonlike bill and more robust proportions.

The resident tropical plovers have much less pointed wings, and most of the lapwings have fairly rounded wing-tips, a wing shape apparently more adapted to aerial manoeuvrability than to long-distance migration.

Lapwings are abundant winter visitors to the area but, like the Golden Plovers, vary greatly in number between years.

This lapwing runs away with the shell on his head.
