About These Birds
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.
Masked Lapwing
Masked Lapwing: 30–37 cm, large noisy Australasian lapwing with yellow facial wattles and sharp wing spurs. Common resident in open grassland, parks, and wetland margins throughout Australia, New Zealand, and New Guinea. Famously aggressive in defence of ground nest. Feeds on invertebrates. Largely sedentary and adaptable to urban environments.
