Hooded Plover
Hooded Plover: 19–23 cm, Australian coastal plover with a distinctive black hood, red eye-ring, and red-tipped yellow bill. Resident on exposed ocean beaches of southern Australia. Nests on bare sand above high-tide line, highly vulnerable to disturbance by dogs and vehicles. Feeds on invertebrates in wrack and wet sand. Vulnerable.

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.
