Abstract
Javan Plover was not recorded in Sumatra prior to 2007, when it was reported as breeding in Lampung province, southern Sumatra . It has since been recorded elsewhere in Sumatra on the islands of Bangka and Belitung and on the Indralaya floodplain. The recent spate of records outside Java is probably at least partly due to increased survey effort, but another possible factor is that birds have dispersed from Java to find suitable habitat, as many coastal areas of Java have come under heavy development pressure
