About These Birds

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.
Banded Lapwing
Banded Lapwing: 25–29 cm, Australian lapwing with a black head, red-and-yellow facial wattle, and broad black breast-band. Inhabits open dry grassland, agricultural paddocks, and sparse scrubland across mainland Australia. Feeds on insects and invertebrates. Partially nomadic, moving to areas after rainfall. Gregarious outside breeding season.
