The Common Ringed Plover is a shorebird that feeds primarily on invertebrates and crustaceans. Other food items are beetles, flies, ants, insect larvae, aquatic worms, and isopods. They use a ‘foot-trembling’ technique in the water, tapping one foot on the ground rapidly to mimic rainfall and attract prey to the surface. Aside from this distinct prey-catching method, they also have a strong eyesight, that allows them to find prey easier.
