About These Birds

Diademed Plover

Diademed Plover (Phegornis mitchellii) is a small 16–17 cm, distinctive plover of high Andean bogs. White face and underparts; chestnut band across forehead; heavily streaked upperparts. Inhabits wet bofedal peatbogs and marshy areas above 4,000 m in Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina.

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.
