Common resident on sandy ocean beaches, estuaries, and rivermouths of sub-Saharan Africa and Madagascar. Insectivorous. Sedentary. Nests in scrape above high-tide line.
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.
