In Pakistan, the Yellow-wattled Lapwing is primarily found in the southeastern regions, including the provinces of Sindh and Balochistan. It inhabits a variety of open habitats such as grasslands, marshes, and agricultural fields.

Yellow-wattled Lapwings are known for their vocal nature, often emitting loud, repetitive calls that sound like “did-he-do-it”. They are typically seen in pairs or small groups and are vigilant in defending their territories, especially during the breeding season.
