What does PEEWIT mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
A medium-sized wading bird of Europe and Asia with a black crest, known elsewhere as the lapwing.
The peewit takes its name from its thin, wailing call, which sounds like those very syllables over open fields and marshes. It has glossy dark green and white plumage, a wispy crest and broad rounded wings, and in spring the male tumbles through the air in a showy display flight. Farmland birds like the peewit have declined in many regions as wet meadows have been drained.
