About These Birds

Siberian Sandplover

Siberian Sandplover: 17–19 cm, compact plover with a rufous breast-band and black mask in breeding male; breeds on Siberian and Far Eastern tundra. Winters on coasts and mudflats from East Africa through South and Southeast Asia to Australia. Common long-distance migrant. Feeds on invertebrates. Often confused with Greater Sandplover.

Spot-breasted Lapwing

Spot-breasted Lapwing: 28–30 cm, Ethiopian highland endemic lapwing with a black head and breast spotted white, and red legs. Restricted to high-altitude moorland and montane grassland above 1,800 m in Ethiopia. Insectivorous. Sedentary; rare and little-studied. Declining due to overgrazing and agricultural encroachment.
