dc.description.abstractThe status and distribution of the red-wattled lapwing, Vanellus indicus (Boddaert, 1783) in Turkey as well as observations on a breeding population at Garzan Stream, South-eastern Anatolia, are described. Despite the records of some wintering individuals, the species is a summer migrant for Turkey. It arrives to the breeding grounds in mid-February. The breeding period starts at end of March and the incubation period is between mid-May and mid-June. In addition, all available records of the species are analysed in order to determine its distribution range in Turkey. Our results indicate a change in the distribution range of V. indicus in Turkey while there is not an increase of the number of records based on the available literature. The most important breeding areas of this species in Turkey are threatened by the Ilisu dam project. The loss of the current suitable habitats may affect the occurrence of this species in the region. This species has shown a moderate expansion of its range and probably this is to continue in future if the suitable habitats are protected. Accurate population assessment is required together with an ecological study to determine the key factors in the main areas for conservation of the red-wattled lapwing in Turkey.en_US
