Abstract
Ringing recoveries, simulated recoveries and observational data were used to describe the migration of the ringed plover. The presence of 8 wintering regions were indicated. These are, the British Isles; southern France and northern Spain; the Iberian peninsula; northwest Africa; northeast Africa; the Arabian peninsula; western and southern Africa; southeast Asia. Allopatric breeding populations occupy the same regions in winter (synheimic) throughout much of the northern and western portions of the winter range. The phenomenon of leap frog migration exists, but is less distinct than reported by earlier studies.
