About These Birds

Eurasian Dotterel

Eurasian Dotterel (Eudromias morinellus) is a medium 20–24 cm tundra plover. Breeding female strikingly colorful: chestnut belly, white breast band, and white supercilium. Males duller; females are the more brightly-colored sex in this reversed-role species. Breeds on high Arctic and mountain tundra; winters in Middle East and North Africa.

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.
