The Golden Plover - Student Blog

Hello everybody,We have been studying the habitat of several birds in Iceland.We want to tell you about the golden plover which is very important for all Icelanders because he announces spring.In this song they are singing about this event which everybody is waiting for.We translated the song for you.The golden plover has arrived.The golden plover has come to say goodbye to the snow.To say goodbye to the boring winter, that she can.She has told me that soon the Whimbrel is coming.The sun is shining in the valley and flowers will grow in the meadow.She told me about my sins, I sleep too much and do not work enough.She has told me to wake up and work and happily welcome the summer.Here are some questions for you:1. Where does the bird live?2. Why does he like to live there?3. What does he eat?4. What is the birds name?Bless blessTeens in Dalbraut.

    Answers to the questions:

    1. The Golden plover lives in Iceland.
    2. Because for breeding they need an open and dry area.
    3. They eat insects, crustaceans and some berries.
    4. They're called Golden Plover because they are gold and black on the crown, back and wings.
