The Tero, known in English as the Southern Lapwing, is one of the most recognizable birds across Argentina - and one you’ll definitely hear before you see.
With its sharp, piercing call and bold black, white, and grey markings, the tero is famous for being fiercely protective. It nests on the ground, and if you get too close, it won’t hesitate to sound the alarm, swoop overhead, and put on a dramatic display to lead you away.
At Estancia Los Potreros, the tero is part of the rhythm of daily life. Its calls echo across the fields, a constant reminder of just how alive the landscape is. Alongside so many other species, it’s part of the estancia’s incredible abundance of wildlife - always present, always watching.
