| In the UAE it is a common breeding visitor and migrant from February to October while some, possibly this bird photographed on 6th November, overwinter. This bird shows the non-breeding plumage with the subdued pattern on the head but still showing the white collar and dark breast band. Note that the longer tail of the Little Ringed Plover projects beyond the wing-tips. | ||||
