About These Birds
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.
Black-headed Lapwing
Black-headed Lapwing: 25–27 cm, Sahelian lapwing with a black head adorned with a wispy white-tipped crest, red wattles, and white underparts. Resident across the Sahel from Senegal to Ethiopia in dry savanna and semi-arid grassland. Insectivorous. Partly nomadic, tracking rainfall. Often encountered in pairs or small flocks.
