Spotted
The Javan Plover is a small, pale shorebird endemic to the sandy beaches and mudflats of Java and Sulawesi, Indonesia. It is characterized by its pale plumage and indistinct markings.
Where to spot
Sandy beaches, mudflats, and coastal areas primarily on the islands of Java and Sulawesi, Indonesia.
How to spot
Scan undisturbed sandy beaches and tidal flats. Its pale, indistinct appearance means looking for its shape and characteristic plover movements (run-stop-peck).
When to spot
Can be observed year-round in its resident coastal habitats. Most active during daylight hours, especially at low tide.
Despite its somewhat plain appearance, this plover is a specialist of tropical sandy coasts, often seen alongside other shorebird species in Southeast Asia.
