A pair of Red-wattled Lapwings (Vanellus indicus) is seen at the Wilderness Orchard in New Delhi, moving alertly across the open ground. Known for their sharp calls and vigilant behavior, these ground-dwelling birds are often seen in pairs, especially during the breeding season. The natural orchard setting provides open spaces and soft soil ideal for foraging and nesting. This scene highlights the adaptability of Red-wattled Lapwings, a familiar yet iconic bird of the Indian landscape, thriving even within semi-urban wilderness areas.
