Spotted
The Brown-chested Lapwing is a rare and elusive species found in limited parts of Africa. It is distinguished by its plain brown chest and a broad white wing-bar visible in flight.
Where to spot
Believed to occur in fragmented populations across parts of West and Central Africa, preferring open grasslands, savannas, and possibly degraded areas.
How to spot
Extremely difficult to observe due to its rarity and often remote habitat. Any sighting requires careful documentation. Look for its plain brown chest and distinctive broad white wing-bar when it flies.
When to spot
Observations are opportunistic due to its rarity. Most records are during daylight hours, but specific seasonal patterns are less defined due to lack of data.
This species is one of the most poorly known lapwings, making its observation a significant event for birdwatchers. Its habitat preferences are still being fully understood.
