دیدومَک (نام علمی: Vanellus indicus یا Hoplopterus indicus) پرندهای با منقار قرمز و پاهای زرد که از حشرات و سایر بی مهرگان تغذیه میکند و به صورت جفت جفت مشاهده میشود. دیدومک پرندهای پر سروصداست که در سکوت شب، صدایش حتی از فاصلهٔ یک کیلومتری هم شنیده میشود و حدود ۳۳ سانتیمتر طول دارد و همانند سایر آبچلیک سانان در حول و حوش آبها به سر میبرد. هنگامیکه فرد انسانی به محل نشستن موقت پرنده نزدیک میشود شروع به با دور زدن مکرر به سر آدم و سروصدای زیاد میکند.در روستای بورکی از توابع شهرستان کازرون استان فارس به این پرنده تی تر مون می گویند. . . #دیدومک #vanellus #indicus #hoplopterus #زقزاق_الهندي #قطقاط_احمر_اللغد #طیطوانه#پرنگدان#حیوانات#حیات_وحش#طبیعتگردی#محیت_زیست#هرمزگان# (at Khalfani, Hormozgan, Iran) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2_jrKEBfjd/?igshid=13e1xq15i3s71

Not a Multi-legged Lapwing 😲🥰 ❤️ It is the motherly love of this Red-wattled Lapwing (Vanellus indicus) who is sheltering three of its chicks from the rain. As the drizzle started the chicks cutely snuggled into their mother's wings, who just bent her legs and protected the chicks in her warm & loving embrace. Clicked at Sirpur Lake, Indore (Madhya Pradesh), India, on 30th June 2019 with Nikon P900. DOP: 2.7.19 ~~~~~~ F/6.5; 1/160 sec; ISO 400; Focal Length: 357 mm; Spot Metering (at Sirpur Lake) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzZrXaHAj65/?igshid=cgdsr5ymjddw

Birds
Tentei or Tentei or Tintia (red-wattled lapwing in English, biology name Vanellus indicus) is an Asian bird of the Carradidae family. They walk around in the forest or in deserts to search for food. They are very alert when they see any animal or human movement around. Europeans who came to India sounded their warning sounds in English, like did he do it or pity to do it. Therefore, in many books and stories, this bird is also called Did He Do It. Kenneth Anderson, a Scottish hunter and forest storyteller, described the bird as a "do-it-yourself" bird. Tentai usually live in pairs or small groups. They can be found near any reservoir. During the breeding season, in winter, they appear to congregate in large groups. They make their nests on the ground and lay 3 to 4 eggs in it. The outer shell of the egg is not easily seen due to decay. When a predator arrives, they fly around their nest and warn loudly. The parrot also jumps on the bandwagon. The body shape of the Tentei children is also difficult to detect in Niara and the deception on the ground. As soon as the eggs hatch, they begin to follow their parents in search of food. When they see danger, they sit on the ground or hide in the grass.
