Black-winged Lapwing

Fairly common visitor and resident. Differs from [Senegal Lapwing] in white forehead extending to above the eye, a bright red eye-ring, a broad dark band on the lower breast and dark red legs. upper wing and underwing patterns diagnostic (see illustration). The normal call is a harsh ‘tlu-wit’, the alarm call a shrill ‘che-che-che-cherek’, rising to a scream when highly agitated. Usually in flocks in hilly grassland, and on golf courses and playing fields where grass is short.
