Ringed Plover is a regular migrant in small numbers, largely in the autumn.
Odd ones and twos can be seen on the shores but the vast majority are
seen flying past. The species is undoubtedly under recorded as many
waders pass too far out to allow for positive identification.
The occurrence pattern of this species at Skogsøy is very
similar both in timing and numbers. The same pattern is also observed
at Stag Rocks, Northumberland in the UK (see link below).
The blue line shows number of visits, the orange one the number of
visits when Ringed Plover have been recorded and the green one
(numbers on right hand axis) shows the average
numbers I have recorded in any three day period.
