I saw several flocks of these birds, generally half a dozen 

 or a dozen together, but in one flock there must have been 

 thirty individuals. Their flight, as they moved off in a body, 

 was low and rapid, and reminded me more of that of the 

 Redshank (Totanus calidris) or of the Dunlin (Heteropygia 

 alpina) than of that of a Plover.
