Hi
spotted these handsome birds on the Jainty riverbed on 7th June during my recent trip to the Buxa Tiger Reserve.
The River Lapwing, Vanellus duvaucelii, is a lapwing species which breeds in Southeast Asia from northeastern India to Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam. It appears to be entirely sedentary. Formerly also called Spur-winged Lapwing, this name is better reserved for one of the "Spur-winged Plovers" of old, Vanellus spinosus of Africa, whose scientific name it literally translates. (Ref: Wiki)
