Spotted
The Red-wattled Lapwing is a conspicuous and noisy wader, easily identified by its bright red facial wattles, black head, and yellow legs. It is a common sight across much of South Asia.
Where to spot
Widespread across South Asia, parts of Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Found in open country, cultivated fields, dry grasslands, and near various water bodies.
How to spot
Look for the prominent red wattle in front of its eye, its black head, and yellow legs. Listen for its loud and distinctive alarm call, which is often given when humans or predators approach its territory or nest.
When to spot
Year-round, as it is largely resident throughout its range. It is more active and vocal during the breeding season, which typically occurs in spring and summer, varying with monsoon patterns.
