Red-wattled Lapwing

Most commonly known as 'Did you do it?' bird,  Red-wattled Lapwing is a very common bird around Tunga river, Lakes and Tunga channels of Malnad area. It gets this funny name because the noise its calls sound a lot like the phrase "Did you do it?". The fact that this is the alarm call makes it even more funnier. I have most often seen these near the Tunga River. Easy to identify, these Lapwings have a reddish beak and a red ring around the eyes, which cover the front part of its face as well. These also have longish yellow legs which make it easy for them to wade through vegetation in water.

Well, this usually lives off insects and small prey.
