Crowned Plover

 

The Crowned Plover is a large, alert-looking, white-bellied, brown lapwing with a distinct white “halo” around the dark crown.


The immature is duller, but it retains the distinctive crown pattern.


Small groups occupy open dry country, preferring cropped and recently burnt grasslands, where they forage for termites, ants, and other invertebrates.
