What does PLOVER mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A small to medium shorebird with a short bill and a quick, running walk, found on beaches, mudflats and open ground.
Plovers run a few steps, stop, and peck at the ground for insects and small crustaceans. Many species nest in a shallow scrape on bare sand or shingle, and some parents pretend to have a broken wing to lead intruders from the nest. The ringed plover and the golden plover are among the best known in Europe. The name reached English from Old French and goes back to a Latin word linked to rain.
