The Magellanic plover (Pluvianellus socialis) is a rare wader endemic to southernmost South America.

In young birds, the eyes and legs are yellowish in colour, and the plumage is grey overall with scaling.

This species is not a long-distance migrant, although some birds move further north in southern Argentina in winter.

[3] One of their preferred areas during winter is in Puerto Madryn and Península Valdes, Chubut, Argentina (Jehl 1975).

[3] Magellanic plovers feed on small invertebrates, picked from the ground, or from under pebbles, again like a turnstone.
