Editing Common ringed plover (section)

==Distribution and habitat==
The common ringed plover's breeding habitat is open ground on beaches or flats across northern [[Palearctic|Eurosiberia]]  and in Arctic northeast [[Canada]]. Some birds breed inland, and in western [[Europe]] they nest as far south as northern [[France]]. They nest on the ground in an open area with little or no plant growth.

Common ringed plovers are [[bird migration|migratory]] and winter in coastal areas south to [[Africa]]. In Norway, geolocators have revealed that adult breeding birds migrate to West Africa.<ref>{{cite journal |author1=Lislevand, T. |author2=Briedis, M. | author3=Heggøy, O. |author4=Hahn, S.  | year=2017| title=Seasonal migration strategies of Common Ringed Plovers ''Charadrius hiaticula''| journal=Ibis| volume=159| pages=225–229| doi=10.1111/ibi.12424| issue=1}}</ref> Many birds in [[Great Britain]] and northern France are resident throughout the year.
