Masked Lapwing

Masked Lapwing
We saw so many new birds in Australia that we weren't able to keep up with trying to identify them. With the new lens I purchased just before leaving for Australia I was able to get some decent photos of them, too. This is the Masked Lapwing or Spur-winged Plover, a very common bird, photographed in this case from the esplanade in Cairns.

Well taken, Ron. You were lucky not to be near these when they're nesting - they dive-bomb big time!

Nothing 'common' looking about this one Ron. What a lovely bird and not one I am familiar with. An excellent capture
