About These Birds
Wrybill
Wrybill: 20–22 cm, unique New Zealand plover whose bill curves distinctly to the right—the only bird with a laterally deflected bill. Uses this adaptation to extract invertebrates from under riverbed stones. Breeds on braided riverbeds of Canterbury, South Island; winters on tidal mudflats of North Island harbours. NT.
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.
