In a significant ecological discovery, the White-Tailed Lapwing, an endangered migratory bird, has been observed in the Wasit Nature Reserve in the UAE. This medium-sized wader, scientifically known as Vanellus leucurus, is listed on the UAE’s Red List of threatened species, as confirmed by Sharjah’s Environment and Protected Areas Authority. The bird is easily recognizable by its white belly and tail, brown upper plumage, long legs, and pointed bill, which it uses to forage for insects and worms in wetland habitats. The White-Tailed Lapwing breeds in Central Asia and migrates to regions such as India, the Middle East, and North Africa during winter. During breeding season, it exhibits territorial behavior, engaging in aerial and vocal displays to protect its nest. The sighting highlights the importance of wetland conservation efforts in the UAE and underscores the region’s role as a critical habitat for migratory species. This discovery also raises awareness about the need to protect endangered species and their ecosystems, particularly in the face of environmental challenges.
