On
The Spur-winged Lapwing (Vanellus spinosus) is a medium-sized wading bird found throughout sub-Saharan Africa, the Nile Valley, and parts of the Middle East. It inhabits wetlands, lakeshores, riverbanks, floodplains, marshes, irrigated farmland, and open grasslands. Unlike many waders, it often feeds away from water. It searches for insects, worms, spiders, snails, and other small invertebrates
