Where do plovers build their nests?

Plovers typically build their nests on the ground, often in sandy or pebbly areas such as beaches, dunes, and grasslands. They prefer open habitats that provide some camouflage for their eggs, which are often well-camouflaged themselves. Nests are usually shallow scrapes in the sand or gravel, sometimes lined with small pebbles or bits of vegetation. This choice of nesting site helps protect their eggs from predators and environmental disturbances.
