The red-wattled lapwing (Vanellus indicus) are ground birds that are incapable of perching. Their characteristic loud alarm calls are indicators of human or animal movements and the sounds have been variously rendered as did he do it or pity to do it, call uttered both in the day and night. Like other lapwings, they soak their belly feathers to provide water to their chicks as well as to cool the eggs during hot weather. The local onomatopoeic name in Hindi is titeeri. . #red-wattledlapwing #Vanellusindicus #titeetri #lapwing #Chambal #IndianBirds #Wildlife #Chambalbirds, #Chambalriver #indiaphotos #indianphotography #indiapixels #india_clicks #maestro_i #sonyindia #India #wildlifeuttarpradesh #natgeoyourshot #natgeobirds #natgeo #bbcearth #bbc #wildlifephotography #bird_brilliance #bird_captures #birdsofindia #birdsofinstagram #birds #incredibleindia #redwattledlapwing (at Chambal River) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDBkicunpLG/?igshid=6bxvwfqblfc7
