Wattled Plover

 

The Wattled Plover, also regarded as the African Wattled Lapwing, is a large-sized lapwing. It is a resident bird found outside the rainforests of sub-Saharan countries, though it may also have seasonal movements.


It is a large, brownish bird with a distinct yellow wattle, accentuated by a red base.


Pair or small groups are often seen in wet grasslands and marshes, though they can also be found in cropped or burnt grasslands, and cultivated fields.
