About These Birds

Little Ringed Plover

Little Ringed Plover: 14–17 cm, slender Old World plover with a single black breast-band, yellow eye-ring, and pink legs. Breeds on gravel riverbeds and sandy lake margins across Eurasia to New Guinea; winters in Africa and South Asia. Insectivorous. Long-distance migrant. Distinguished from Ringed Plover by yellow eye-ring and lack of wingbar.

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.
