About These Birds

Chestnut-banded Plover

Chestnut-banded Plover: 13–15 cm, small pale plover with a narrow chestnut breast-band and pale sandy upperparts. Resident at alkaline and saline lakes in eastern and southern Africa, with a separate population on the Namibian coast. Feeds on brine flies and invertebrates. NT. Sensitive to water-level fluctuations at soda lake breeding sites.

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.
