About These Birds
Javan Plover
Javan Plover: 14–16 cm, small coastal plover similar to Kentish Plover but endemic to Java and Bali, Indonesia. Pale sandy brown with dark ear-patch and partial breast-band. Inhabits sandy beaches, tidal mudflats, and saltpan margins. Insectivorous. NT. Threatened by severe coastal habitat loss due to industrial and tourist development.
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.
