A Masked Lapwing at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney. These guys make me think "wow, that can't be real" every time.

Meet the Masked Lapwing! 🐦⚡ This bold bird has yellow wattles & a loud call. Found in parks & wetlands, they defend their nests fiercely—even dive-bombing intruders! 😲 Have you seen one? #MaskedLapwing #Birdwatching #AustralianBirds #NatureLover

This masked lapwing doesn’t mind showing you its #skinnylegs, but the feet are off limits.

#BirdOfTheDay theme is #DownyFeathers.
Here is a downy devil bird. IYKYK. North head, Sydney, Australia. After the magpie, this is Australia's most terrifying creature.

Continuing the #Australian pics as I explore #Sydney for a couple more weeks! As much as I love living in #Colorado, I could get used to spending the northern hemisphere's darkest weeks #south of the #equator!

#Mr&Mrs masked lapwing. I didn't see them together in any other formation during the short while I worked in this building.

#BirdOfTheDay #birds #maskedlapwing
A male and female masked lapwing, standing in what was then a car park by the water. It ls the afternoon and the birds are making shadows on the concrete. The male is facing the camera, in the lower right of the frame. The female has her back to the male and is standing a short distance away from him. A low concrete wall/barrier is between the birds and the water, with a mooring post breaking partially seen.

So we had a little Masked Lapwing drama across the road from us, the babies were stuck in the gutter and the parents couldn't work out how to get them up.

Ramps were improvised so all ended well

A roadside gutter. Two adult Masked Lapwings, stand guard over their chicks who are wandering along the gutter. A roadside gutter. A bird with long thin legs and prominent yellow flaps on its face stands next to a chick. The chick is white, brown and black and very fluffy A roadside gutter. A small fluffy chick is in the gutter looking ahead. It is very small compared to the gutter A roadside gutter. Three small fluffy chicks huddle together as they try and work out how to get out of the gutter

You know - people like this scumbag who took "great pleasure" in crushing three plover ( #maskedlapwing) chicks into the ground, are umpteen times more likely to commit a violent crime against another person (including homicide) than the average citizen.

Statistically that's the cold hard truth.

Astonishing #paranormal phenomena which I captured from a stock photo of a #maskedlapwing nest, and adjacent to it.

3/3 #KnowYourPlover If a #MaskedLapwing swoops you, don't curse them. Remember they’re just protecting their chicks! Like other #plovers, the tiny chicks can’t fly & must navigate urban landscapes to find food! Now imagine how vulnerable they are! #PAD2019 #ProtectingHoodedPlover
