The Grey-headed Lapwing is a bird species found in parts of South and Southeast Asia, including India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. It is a large bird with a distinctive grey head, neck and breast, and a white belly. It has a black bill and a yellow ring around its eyes.
The Grey-headed Lapwing is typically found in wetlands and marshes, where it feeds on a variety of insects, crustaceans, and small vertebrates such as frogs and lizards. It is known for its loud and distinctive call, which sounds like “did-he-do-it”.
Although the Grey-headed Lapwing is not considered to be endangered, habitat loss and degradation due to urbanization, agriculture and human activities are potential threats to its populations in some areas.
