ALWARGIIIM PLOVER. 
This is a very common species, being found 
throughout the greater portion of the globe. With 
us it is found througliout the whole year, and 
breeds on several of our unfrequented mountains, 
particularly those of the Scotch islands and the 
Grampian hills : in the southern parts of this 
country they are somewhat more scarce, parti- 
cularly in the county of Kent. They fly in small 
flocks, and make a shrill whistling noise, by an 
imitation of which they may be allured within gun- 
shot.
