The golden-spotted plover feathers have pure black underparts and densely interspersed golden-yellow spots on the upper body, making the entire upper body appear black and golden-yellow spots.
On the side of the body, a white belt starts from the forehead through the eyebrows, and then down the side of the neck, connecting with the large white spots on the side of the chest, which is very conspicuous between the upper and lower colors. Move alone or in groups. Its natural habitats are along the beach, sandy beaches, and in open, grassy areas.
The golden-spotted plover has a very limited range, its population is decreasing, and the main threat is habitat destruction.

A few years ago, a photo album of a southern photographer friend of Luo Gaoxin, a member of the photography association, included a kind of water bird called the golden spotted plover.
He had been dreaming of photographing this rare bird species as well, but due to the influence of the earth, the illusion that the golden spotted plover could not have come to Shangzhou was completely broken today, and finally fulfilled his dream of photographing the golden spotted plover.
