Red-wattled Lapwings (Vanellus indicus) are ground-dwelling waders. They utter a "did-hee-doo-it" call that is extremely familiar with bird-watchers in India. They are beautiful and very noisy birds, more so when agitated. They make ground nests and are very protective of them, dive-bombing and distracting potential predators.
Some of Green Humour cartoons on birds are also up on the bird website Kolkatabirds.com. You can see them here- http://www.kolkatabirds.com/toons.htm
