Definitions

adj.形容词 adjective

1
- : shore-inhabiting; of or pertaining to numerous birds of the families Charadriidae, comprising the plovers, and Scolopacidae, comprising the sandpipers.

It also, Rail-like, frequently alights on trees and fences, a habit I have not remarked in any other Limicoline species.
In addition to these terrestrial forms there are a few limicoline genera which are partly marine in their habit.
Its habits on the shore are very similar to those of the other Limicoline species.
With the present species we exhaust the number of Limicoline birds that nest upon the shore in the British Islands.
The young of all Limicoline birds are hatched covered with down, and are able to run soon after their breaking from the shell.
