Lapaire

Is grúpa éan iad na **lapairí** a aimsítear go coitianta ar imeallbhoird agus ar réileáin láibe, a théann ag spágáil ar thóir foráiste chun bia a sholáthar (mar shampla feithidí nó crústaigh, sa láib nó sa ghaineamh.

Is baill den ord Charadriiformes iad, is lapairí iad thart ar 210 speiceas as na 390 speiceas san ord. Ní grúpa tacsanomaíochta iad na lapairí.

Déanann go leor speiceas ón Artach agus ó réigiúin mheasartha imirce go láidir, ach is minic a bhíonn na héin trópaiceacha ina gcónaí go buan in áit amháin nó bogann siad ach amháin mar fhreagra ar phatrúin bháistí. Bíonn cuid de na speicis Artacha, mar shampla an gobadáinín beag, i measc na n-imirceach cianeitilt, ag caitheamh an tséasúir neamhphóraithe sa leathsféar theas.
