280 OUTDOOR LIFE IN ENGLAND 



10. The Kentish plover. 



1 1. The killdeer plover. 



12. The peewit or lapwing. 



13. The sociable lapwing. 



14. The oyster-catcher. 



15. The turnstone. 



Of these fifteen, Nos. i, 2,4, 5, 6,8,9, IO > l T > J 3> Z 5> 

 are migratory, the remainder viz., 3, 7, 12, 14 

 are resident. 



The cream-coloured courser, Asiatic plover, 

 little ringed plover, Caspian plover, killdeer 

 plover, and sociable lapwing are rare. 



I have previously referred to the stone curlew 

 and peewit. Of the remaining seven, the dotterel 

 and the Kentish plover arrive in the spring and 

 remain with us until the autumn, and so may be 

 termed summer visitors, the gray plover and the 

 turnstone arriving in the autumn and leaving in 

 the spring. I may as well here remark that, 

 with the exception of the peewit, gray plover, 

 and turnstone, the members of this family are 

 without the hind-toe common to most birds. The 

 remembrance of this fact will assist identification. 

 We have thus four varieties of this tribe which 

 are resident in this country, and five which are 

 migratory, viz. : 



The golden plover.
