Common ringed plover (Charadrius hiaticula) foraging for food by the shoreline by Nesseby church in Varanger (Finnmark, Norway), photographed in August 2023.

The ringed plovers that breed here in Varanger overwinter in Africa, south of the Sahara (different from the ones that breed in the south of Norway, which overwinter in Europe).
