The Yellow-Wattled Lapwing is a ground bird. However, rapid urbanization and greed of man in the name of development has hit the ecosystem. For procreation, the mating ritual of these birds involves the male serenading the female. If the female rejects the advances of the male, he withdraws. This earthy bird that does not live on trees or bushes is a creature that has a close knit bond with those who dwell far away from cities. This bird is endearing to Indian poets, villagers and common folk. Development and urbanization has taken its toll on the bird. Yet, it continues to tweet despite the challenges it faces not only in the changing environment but also in the wild.

ಹಳದಿ ವಾಟಲ್ಡ್ ಲ್ಯಾಪ್ವಿಂಗ್ ಒಂದು ನೆಲದ ಹಕ್ಕಿ. ಅಭಿವೃದ್ಧಿಯ ಹೆಸರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಮನುಷ್ಯನ ತ್ವರಿತ ನಗರೀಕರಣ ಮತ್ತು ದುರಾಸೆ ಪರಿಸರದ ಮೇಲೆ ಘೋರ ಪರಿಣಾಮ ಬೀರಿದೆ. ಇಂತಹ ಪರಿಸರದಲ್ಲಿ ಈ ಹಕ್ಕಿಯ ಹೋರಾಟವನ್ನು ಈ ಚಿತ್ರದಲ್ಲಿ ದಾಖಲೀಕರಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಮರಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಪೊದೆಗಳ ಮೇಲೆ ವಾಸಿಸದ ಈ ಮಣ್ಣಿನ ಹಕ್ಕಿ ನಗರಗಳಿಂದ ದೂರ ವಾಸಿಸುವವರೊಂದಿಗೆ ನಿಕಟ ಸಂಬಂಧ ಹೊಂದಿರುವ ಜೀವಿಯಾಗಿದೆ. ಈ ಹಕ್ಕಿ ಭಾರತೀಯ ಕವಿಗಳು, ಗ್ರಾಮಸ್ಥರು ಮತ್ತು ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ ಜನರಿಗೆ ಪ್ರಿಯವಾಗಿದೆ.
