About These Birds

Senegal Lapwing

Senegal Lapwing: 22–25 cm, small plain brown lapwing of West African savanna with a narrow white forehead and narrow breast-band. Resident from Senegal east to Ethiopia in dry open woodland and burnt grassland. Insectivorous. Largely sedentary but undertakes local movements following fires and rains. Smaller than many congeners.

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.
