Abstract

Various ecosystems are home to river lapwings, which may be seen in open, vegetated banks, barren, unforested islands, and farmland. On the riverbanks throughout the summer, adult beetles are the most frequent surface-active prey, followed by Hymenopteron, beetle larvae, Euplecoptera, Caddis flies, adult midges, Araneus, saltatoria, arthropods, and Cladocera. Saltatoria is the most common prey collected along the river's bare bank during the rainy season. More than a hundred river lapwings were seen using Waterborne Homoeopathy (WHP) to find food. Prey consumption rates vary widely depending on habitat and season, with the most enormous variation occurring along riverbanks relatively devoid of vegetation. Foraging success was highly variable between seasons and habitat types but was consistently highest in dense vegetation near the river.
