About These Birds
Black-fronted Dotterel
Black-fronted Dotterel: 16–18 cm, slender Australian plover with a striking black forehead-patch, chestnut shoulder-bar, and red-based black bill. Inhabits margins of inland freshwater wetlands, riverbeds, and reservoirs throughout Australia and New Zealand. Invertebrate feeder. Largely sedentary with nomadic movements after rainfall.
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.
