About These Birds

Yellow-wattled Lapwing

Yellow-wattled Lapwing: 26–28 cm, sandy-brown Indian lapwing with a black cap, large yellow facial wattles, and yellow legs. Endemic to the Indian subcontinent, resident in dry open scrub, fallow fields, and stony ground. Feeds on insects and small invertebrates. Sedentary. Characteristic dry-country species.

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.
