The Javan lapwing, also known as the Javanese lapwing and Javanese wattled lapwing, is a wader in the lapwing family. This large, long-legged wader inhabited wide steppe-like marshes in river deltas and behind coastal sand dunes in Java, and was known historically from two areas of the island, one in the west along the north coast and one in the east. The cached account is short, and the species' current status should be checked (Wikipedia, general species account).
