This may be true.
OTOH, the call of the Banded Lapwing is distinctive and carries a very long way.
Perhaps the drought has pushed a few more in this direction?

the three humps where the paddocks to the west are full of serrated tussock only about 5-6 k from Bungers. I mention this as the birds , BL , maybe more widespread then we have thought, and perhaps in the past
due to camouflage, lack of people looking/knowing have been more common then we think ?. "
