The Plover can be found in its upland moorland breeding grounds from May to September, moving to lowland coasts, farmland and fields in Autumn and Winter. The Golden plover is smaller than its relative, the Grey plover. In summer, adults have a black throat, chest and belly, surrounded by a band of white and topped with a distinctive, spotted gold-and-black back and cap. In winter, they lose their black and turn more buff in colour, with a pale throat, chest and belly. In mixed flocks, Golden Plovers can be distinguished from Lapwings by their sharp, pointed wings, Lapwings have bluntly rounded wings.
