OriginalNorthern lapwing is a bird in the lapwing family. It is common through temperate Eurasia. It has rounded wings and a crest. It is mainly black and white, but the back is tinted green. The male has a long crest and a black crown, throat and breast contrasting with an otherwise white face. Females and young birds have shorter crests, and have less strongly marked heads, but plumages are otherwise quite similar.
