About These Birds
Double-banded Plover
Double-banded Plover: 17–19 cm, New Zealand plover with two dark breast-bands, the upper black and lower chestnut in breeding plumage. Breeds on shingly riverbeds and alpine herbfields of both main islands of New Zealand; migrates to southeastern Australia and Pacific islands in winter. Insectivorous. Regional migrant.
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.
