The Kentish Plover, Charadrius alexandrinus, is a small wader in the plover bird family. It breeds in most subtropical and tropical parts of the world, from southern Europe to Japan and in Ecuador, Peru, Chile, the southern USA and the Caribbean. The breeding birds in warmer countries are largely sedentary, but northern and inland populations are migratory, wintering south to the tropics.
